If you’re a sports fan like me you are excited about the food as much as the game itself. Any recipe that can be associated with game day or tailgating is right up my alley. To keep from getting stuck in a game day recipe rut, I’ve been testing out some new ideas in the kitchen. The result is this one of a kind, easy, and tasty Dr Pepper Chipotle Ribs, perfect for your next college football, tailgating, or game day gathering!
These ribs are first cooked in a slow cooker until tender and flavorful. This method is so simple – just set it and forget it! The ribs are then finished off on the grill or under the broiler to get that nice char and crispy edges. Using Dr Pepper as a cooking liquid not only gives the ribs a hint of sweetness I love in barbecued meats but also helps tenderize it. You can easily prep this ahead of time and then finish off in the oven or on the grill right before game time.
Dr Pepper Chipotle Ribs {Slow Cooker Method}
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork spare ribs or baby back ribs cut into 2-3 portions
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp adobo sauce optional, if you prefer more heat
- 1½ cups Dr Pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir to combine salt, pepper, and chili powder. Rub the mixture on both sides of ribs.
- Place ribs and chipotle chiles in slow cooker and pour Dr Pepper over ribs.
- Cover and cook on low heat setting for 7 to 8 hours, or until ribs are tender. Remove ribs and discard liquid.
- Brush barbecue sauce over ribs. To broil, set ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and broil for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until charred. To grill, place ribs on a grill over medium heat and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Holy woah! I had to idea you could make ribs in a slow cooker that look this amazing! I know what we’ll be making for this weekend’s championship games. :-) Thanks for sharing! #client
