Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Dr. Pepper
  • 4 pounds beef ribs
  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Place ribs in crockpot and pour the 1st can (12 oz.) of Dr. Pepper over the ribs.
  • Turn on slow cooker on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours. Flip them during cooking so that the ribs get fully coated. I cooked them for 7 hours and flipped them every 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Then place a cooling rack on the cookie sheet.
  • Combine the BBQ sauce with 1/2 cup (about 4 oz.) of the second Dr. Pepper can. Drink the rest if you want.
  • Remove the ribs from the crockpot and place them on the cooling rack. Then brush the BBQ/Dr. Pepper mix over the ribs. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the ribs, brush on the mixture, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Take the ribs out of the oven and serve! Use the remaining sauce as a dipping sauce if you want.
