Smoky Baby Back Ribs in the Crock-Pot!

Visit ShockinglyDelicious.com and sign up to get recipes by e-mail, so you never miss out on new postings!

I’m a fan of low and slow when it comes to pork ribs, and the Crock-Pot or slow cooker is the definition of low and slow. If you sprinkle the ribs with a pinch of the miraculous smoked paprika before you let the cooker do its work, and then finish them with a quick glaze of BBQ and hoisin sauce, you will be in rib Nirvana.

Smoky, cheesy flavors give this burger a touch of machismo, along with a just-spicy-enough sauce. The usual go-alongs of ripe tomato and crisp lettuce top it off, for a burger that will take you through summer and into the fall. World’s Best? Oh yes. Dare you to disprove it.
