Ingredients
  

  • 3½ pounds bone-in country-style pork ribs
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 18-ounce bottle barbecue sauce
  • ½ cup regular cola

Instructions
 

  • Scatter onion in a 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange thawed ribs over it.
  • Stir barbecue sauce and cola together. Pour over the ribs.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 3½ to 4 hours, until fork-tender. Check that the pork reaches at least 145°F.
  • Lift the ribs onto a platter and rest for 5 minutes. Skim the sauce, stir in the onions, and spoon over the pork.

Notes

For thicker sauce, simmer it uncovered on the stove for 5 to 10 minutes.
