Barbecued Ribs

My mom always told me the key to a man's heart is through his stomach. If you are looking for something to make on your next date night...ribs are the answer!

You will need...

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

3 to 3 1/2 pounds well-trimmed pork baby back ribs, cut into 4-rib pieces

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

1. Coat crock-pot with cooking spray. Combine paprika, salt, thyme, black pepper and red pepper; rub mixture onto meaty sides of ribs. Place ribs in crock-pot. Cover; cook on LOW 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until ribs are tender.

2. Combine ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire and soy sauce; mix well. Remove ribs from crock-pot; discard cooking liquid. Coat ribs with sauce; return to crock-pot and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes, or until ribs are glazed.

Enjoy :) Ali
