Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tspn pepper
  • 1 tspn onion powder
  • 1/2 tspn cayenne
  • 2 tspn ground cumin
  • 1 tspn chili powder
  • 2 tspn garlic powder
  • 2 lb baby back ribs

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, cayenne, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.

  2. Rub the spice mix all over the baby back ribs.

  3. Drain the juice from the can of pineapple and add to the slow cooker, along with the barbecue sauce. Stir to combine.

  4. Add the diced pineapple and ribs to the slow cooker and cover with the sauce.

  5. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Halfway through, flip the racks of ribs so the one that was previously on the bottom is now on top. Cover with more sauce.
