Ingredients
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Cajun seasoning linked here & below
- ½ cup barbecue sauce for cooking
- 3 lbs boneless country style pork ribs
- ½ cup barbecue sauce for serving

- In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning with the brown sugar.1/2 cup Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Combine this mixture with ½ cup of barbecue sauce.½ cup barbecue sauce
- Coat the ribs on all sides with this seasoning mixture, then lay the ribs on top of the onions. (I find it is easiest to use a basting brush to paint the barbecue sauce onto all of the exposed sides of the ribs, then lay them on top of the onions with the barbecue sauce side down - then paint what is left of the ribs with sauce so that they are completely covered.)3 lbs boneless country style pork ribs
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 - 8 hours, or High for 3 - 4 hours, or until ribs are fork-tender.
- When the ribs are done cooking, shred them up and move the onions and ribs to a bowl. You can serve them in big chunks or really tear them apart with a fork.
- Mix some of the juices from the crockpot with the barbecue sauce and coat the ribs with it. I like to only use a small amount and then serve the remainder in a bowl on the table for people to use as they please.½ cup barbecue sauce
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
Note: There is no need for any extra liquid in this recipe (though there is when you make country-style ribs in an Instant Pot) as the ribs are very juicy.
Helpful Tips
- Do not cook the meat at too high of a heat. Low and slow is the way here.
