Slow Cooker Ribs

Quick Note: Try it. You won't regret it.

Ingredients

4 lbs of ribs (beef or pork)
2 T garlic powder
2 T salt
2 T black pepper
3 lemons, juiced

Preparation

Cut the ribs to fit your slow cooker. Combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Rub the rack of ribs with the dry mix, covering all sides. If you have extra rub, pour it over the ribs in the slow cooker.

Squeeze the lemons over the ribs.

Cover and cook on low for 7-10 hours or on high for 5 hours. The meat will be more tender if cooked on low heat.
