Preparation

Step 1

Remove silver skin from the back of the ribs. This can be done by pushing the back of a spoon just underneath it, and then working it up and off the ribs with your fingers.
Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, and place them into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the root beer over top.
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or 3 hours on high.
Remove ribs from the slow cooker, setting aside on plate. Discard liquid from slow cooker.
Place the ribs back inside, along with the barbecue sauce. Be sure to coat ribs in bbq sauce. Cook on high for another 1 hour.
Gently remove from slow cooker and serve with sauce.
