Recipe Notes

• This recipe gives you a good amount of sauce!

Helpful Tips:

• Sometimes baby back ribs are also known as loin ribs.  You can use either.
• You can cook these ribs in your slow cooker either on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.  I find they come out exactly the same.  I prefer getting the ribs done quicker so I can eat them sooner.
• Cut the ribs in half so they fit in the slow cooker better.
• Make sure to cover both sides of the ribs with the bourbon sauce, especially since they will have to overlap a little.
