Dr. Pepper Ribs in Crock Pot

Want to be let in on a little secret? I am awful at the grill. My husband isn’t much better only because we are limited by location.  We live in town homes outside of Washington, D.C. and in order to grill, we have to scoot significantly away from the house. It isn’t convenient and becomes unsafe for me trying to get dinner on and watch littles.

We do, however, love meat. Hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken… wait, did I say ribs? I did.  In order to serve one of our favorite meats, I have to get creative with the slow cooker. These Crock-Pot Dr. Pepper Ribs, do not disappoint! Easy with three ingredients. Yep… three (and some salt and pepper!)  Follow these slow cooker tips and feel like a profession griller who just pull ribs off the grill out of the Crock Pot!

For those that ask, the Rae Dunn by Salt and Pepper Ceramic Cellars are here.
