How to Make Slow Cooker BBQ Ranch Ribs
- Begin by getting out your slow cooker and placing your boneless rack of ribs inside.
- Then using about ¼-½ of the ranch packet over top of the ribs.
- Now in a medium mixing bowl, add in the ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, lemon juice, honey, brown sugar, pepper and salt.
- Once all of that is in the bowl, whisk it all together until it is well combined.
- Then try and pour the homemade BBQ sauce over top of the ribs evenly and spread it out to make sure all of the ribs are covered.
- Now place the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- When the meat is tender, you will know it is done.
Recipe Notes
- Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Add more or less of the ranch depending on how much you want to taste the ranch dressing.
- For this recipe we like to use the boneless country pork ribs and they turn out wonderfully, however you do not NEED to use them if you prefer a different cut of meat. Chicken breasts, bone-in or boneless wings, or sausage work well.

this tastes so yummie 🙂
These ribs are always on sale in my area!
Hello and good day to all who read this and hopefully someone will respond. I have made this twice and both times wished I would have made. more. My big question was wondering if possible, can one use country beef ribs???? I love my pork, but try to limit it’s intake. If one cannot use this recipe, can anyone recommend a country beef ribs in the slow cooker?? Thanks
You can totally use beef ribs with this recipe!
Does anyone have nutritional info on any of these slow cooker rib recipes. My wife is diabetic and we have to know the carb and calorie counts.
Can you do this in the oven? My crock pot broke.
This recipe is a big hit in my household! I recently came across some cheap bone in country style ribs, can I use that instead of boneless?
Sure, we use those a lot too!
Made this for my family last night and my husband AND kids loved it! Thank you. I love your website!
Thank you Kathleen. So glad your family liked the ribs. We love slow cooker recipes!
Hi, would this recipe work out with boneless pork shoulder?
We haven’t tried it with anything bu boneless pork ribs. The sauce/seasoning may not spread as well with a pork shoulder, but it might turn into more of a BBQ ranch pulled pork by the end! IF you try it that way, let us know!
What can you substitute the honey for? I’m out
You can substitute brown sugar or maple syrup for the honey and it will turn out great!
These are basically just the same as a pulled pork recipe without the pulling. Did you do something to the ribs to thicken or darken these photos because I followed the recipe to a t and they look nothing like your picture. Did you sear them or reduce the sauce or something? These have way have too much liquid.
