After tasting these fall of the bone ribs, you’ll put away your grill for good!

1. Season the ribs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker.
3. In a bowl, mix the root beer and barbecue sauce together and pour over the ribs.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and fully cooked.
5. Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet.
6. Brush some extra BBQ sauce over the ribs and broil them in the oven for about 5 minutes on each side to get a nice caramelized finish.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce mixture. For a smokier flavor, you might like to include a teaspoon of liquid smoke. If root beer isn’t your style, you can also try using cola or Dr. Pepper for a different sweet twist.
