Slow Cooker Pork Rib Tips

Step 1
Mix together brown sugar, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until combined. Add rib tips and mix until ribs are thoroughly coated. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2
Place coated ribs in a slow cooker. Stir together 3/4 of the BBQ sauce with liquid smoke in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour evenly over ribs.

Step 3
Cook on Low until ribs are tender, 4 to 6 hours.

Step 4
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking tray or broiler rack with aluminum foil.

Step 5
Remove ribs to the prepared tray and baste with remaining BBQ sauce.

Step 6
Cook ribs under the preheated broiler until sauce is hot and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
