Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) pineapple slices
  • 7 maraschino cherries
  • 1 cup graham crackers
  • 3 teaspoons white sugar
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) smooth cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup bitter cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. In a 9-inch pie pan, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter and brown sugar until well blended. Gently spread the mixture to cover the bottom of the pan.
  3. Place the pineapple slices on top of the butter-sugar mixture. Use a maraschino cherry to place one in the center of each pineapple slice.
  4. In a small mixing dish, combine the graham crackers, 3 teaspoons of white sugar, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well. Crumble the mixture over the pineapple slices.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of white sugar until well blended. Add the bitter cream and vanilla extract, and blend well to ensure everything is combined.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until well blended. Pour the batter into the cake pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is almost set, about 55 minutes to an hour. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake – if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
  8. Once baked, run a knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Let it cool completely, which should take about 30 minutes.
  9. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter, ensuring that the pineapple slices are facing up. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least three hours before serving to allow it to set.
  10. Now, all that’s left to do is dig in and enjoy this tropical delight! Serve it as is or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

These ribs are so tender and flavorful that they literally fall off the bone. The tangy explosion of flavors will leave you craving for more. Whether you’re planning a summer picnic, a family gathering, or just a simple dinner, these crock pot ribs are sure to impress.

The best part about this recipe is that it’s incredibly easy. There are no complicated techniques or messy wet ingredients involved. All you need is a mouthwatering dry rub and a slow cooker. The natural juices from the ribs will provide all the moisture needed to create a truly delicious dish.



To start, make a dry rub using a combination of brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and cracked pepper. This blend of sweet and savory flavors will elevate your ribs to a whole new level.

Before you begin cooking, make sure to remove the membrane on the back side of the pork ribs. It’s not the most pleasant task, but it’s crucial for achieving tender ribs. Just peel away the pink fleshy layer using a knife or your fingers. Trust us, it’s worth the effort!

Once you’ve prepared the ribs, place them in the slow cooker standing up and lean them against the sides. Cooking them upright ensures that all sides are evenly cooked and enhances the tenderness.

Let the ribs cook on low in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours. When they’re done, you have two options to finish them off: broiling or grilling. Brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce, such as Sweet Baby Ray’s, and either broil them in the oven for a few minutes or cook them on the grill to give them a caramelized, smoky flavor.

Serve these mouthwatering Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs with creamy coleslaw or a refreshing pasta salad for a complete and heavenly meal. If you’re worried about cleaning up, consider using a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.

So go ahead, try out this fantastic recipe and make it your own. Experiment with different dry rubs and barbecue sauces to find the perfect combination that suits your taste buds. Get ready to impress your family and friends with these fall-off-the-bone delicious ribs!
