๐Ÿงพ Ingredients

For the Ribs:

  • 2 lbs boneless country-style pork ribs
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup water or broth

For Assembly:

  • 4–6 hoagie rolls or sub sandwich buns
  • Extra BBQ sauce for topping
  • Sliced dill pickles
  • Thinly sliced white onion

๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿณ Instructions

1. Season the Pork

Rub the ribs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Make sure they’re coated evenly.

2. Add to Slow Cooker

Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker. Pour in water or broth, then add BBQ sauce. Stir gently to coat.

3. Cook Low & Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until ribs are fork-tender and easy to shred.

4. Shred or Flatten the Meat

Once done, remove pork and shred it OR press gently to keep larger pieces (more like the McRib). Optional: brush with more BBQ sauce and broil for 3–5 minutes to add a smoky crust.

5. Assemble the Sandwiches

Toast buns lightly. Add a layer of BBQ pork, drizzle extra BBQ sauce, top with sliced pickles and onions.

6. Serve Hot & Enjoy!

These taste best fresh out of the slow cooker, but leftovers reheat beautifully.

  • ๐Ÿง€ Add melted cheddar or pepper jack

๐Ÿ“ฆ Storage & Reheating
