Ingredients

4 lbs pork baby back ribs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups ketchup
1 cup chili sauce
0.5 cup packed brown sugar
4 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce
1 large onion, thinly sliced

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Season ribs with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow roasting pan. Brown in the oven for 15 minutes, flip over, and brown another 15 minutes; drain fat.

In a medium bowl, mix together ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Place ribs in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over ribs, turning to coat.

Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove ribs from slow cooker, brush with some barbecue sauce, and grill for about 5 minutes on each side until slightly charred.
