Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

This is a GREAT recipe for ribs. Amelia chowed down on them....but that's not really a surprise. I cut the sauce in half, as I didn't have 4 lbs of ribs, and there was plenty of sauce, but it's goooood. I also didn't have ketchup (better get more before Tiernan finds out) so I used a ketchup substitute which is 1 C. tomato sauce, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 Tbsp sugar.

Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

4 pounds pork ribs
salt and pepper to taste
2 C. ketchup
1 C. chili sauce
1/2 C. packed brown sugar
4 Tbsp vinegar
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce (or more, to taste)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.
Season ribs with salt and pepper. Place in baking pan. Brown in oven 15 minutes. Turn over, and brown another 15 minutes; drain fat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano and Worcestershire sauce. Place ribs in slow cooker. Pour sauce over ribs, and turn to coat.
Cover, and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until ribs are tender.
