Step-by-step
- I used a 6.5 qt crockpot. 4 lbs of ribs fit comfortably, but I maybe could have squeezed in another pound.
- Cut the ribs to fit your crockpot.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry spices.
- Rub the rack of ribs with the dry mixture, covering all sides of the ribs. Put them into your crockpot. If you have extra seasoning, pour on top.
- Squeeze the lemons (use one of those hand-held juicer things, to make sure all the juice gets out) on top of the ribs.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-10 hours, or on high for about 5. The meat will be more tender if you cook it on low.
- Serve with corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
