Slow Cooker Pork Ribs

- 1/4 cup dry rub seasoning, or your preferred seasoning, as needed
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, your favorite brand, as needed
Instructions

Prepare the pork ribs by first removing the membrane from the back of the rack. This can be done by sliding a knife under the membrane at one end and then pulling it off with a paper towel for grip. If the rack is too large for your slow cooker, cut it in half.
