Thank you to the Crock-Pot brand for sponsoring this post! As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.
I just love Springtime! It gives us a chance to soak up some sun and enjoy a good ol’ family cookout! Whenever we have a cookout, BBQ ribs are a MUST! This is usually my husband’s territory! He loves to grill and will not let me anywhere near “his” grill ?.
I usually don’t mind letting him take charge of the ribs, but there are times that I would like to give it a try. Since I’m not that good with the grill, I thought that it would be a great idea to cook my BBQ ribs in my new Crock-Pot® 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cooker!
I’m seriously in love with this Crock-Pot Express Crock! It has 8 pre-set pressurized settings which makes one-pot meals easier than ever! You can choose to eat sooner, or use the slow cook setting to come back later to a delicious hot meal! You can also use the Crock-Post Express Crock to make soups, yogurt, and even these Slow Cooker Bourbon & Orange BBQ Ribs!
The key to this recipe…. besides using the Crock-Pot Express Crock to make these Bourbon & Orange BBQ Ribs super tender…. is the sauce! I love finding creative ways to dress up my barbecue sauce and this one was very easy to make!
I just added a few shots of bourbon, fresh squeezed orange juice, and thyme to my favorite brand of barbecue sauce. Then I poured it over my ribs in the Crock-Pot Express Crock and let it cook! See, easy-peasy!
These Slow Cooker Bourbon & Orange BBQ Ribs turned out great! They were so flavorful and tender! I couldn’t believe that I was able to create the most delicious bbq ribs ever, without any fuss! I just placed my ingredients in my Crock-Pot Express Crock and let it do its magic!

Hello! I just finished the dishes. The ribs were a hit. I never did those before. I decided to try it for my son’s birthday. The 3 gentlemen at the table enjoy them a lot. P.S. I did not tell them how easy they were to do. Thank you!
I’m so glad they enjoyed them!!
Hi, I just came across your recipe and would like to try it but can I make these in my basic crockpot or in the oven? Thanks.
