Whether it's a hot summer day and you want to dine al fresco but don't want to stand in front of a hot grill or it's a cold winter night and you're craving a meal that's savory and satisfying, this easy baby back rib recipe is guaranteed to hit the spot. It's the perfect protein for your summer picnics or backyard BBQs!

Made with a mouthwatering homemade spice rub and delicious Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce, these tender, flavorful slow cooker baby back ribs are ready to fall off the bone and straight into your mouth. Unsweetened and USDA organic, our sauce is the real deal: free from high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, or artificial sweeteners and packed with a smooth, slightly smoky taste and texture. 

Rather than spending extra time in the backyard over a hot grill, we took the quick and easy route with our Instant Pot. To get that perfectly chargrilled exterior on your Instant Pot baby back ribs, simply oven-bake on broil for several minutes or place them on a preheated grill until they reach the ideal color.
