Bourbon BBQ Baby Back Ribs

6 lbs baby back pork ribs (2 racks cut into thirds)

1 pouch Orrington Farms® Slow Cookers BBQ Pork Roast Seasoning, divided

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1 cup Orrington Farms® Broth Base Beef Flavor – With Other Natural Flavor, prepared

½ cup bourbon

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp hot sauce

Preheat oven to 475⁰F.

Rub 2 Tbsp seasoning mix over baby back ribs and place meaty-side up on large baking sheet. Bake at 475⁰ F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining seasoning and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl.

Place ribs in a large slow cooker and pour sauce over ribs equally. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours, or low for 9 hours, or until ribs are fork tender. Remove from slow cooker and keep warm.

Carefully pour sauce through a fine strainer set over a 2-quart sauce pan, reserving liquid. Skim off fat, if desired. Bring sauce to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes or until thickened. Brush sauce over ribs.

Serve with cornbread, baked beans or your favorite BBQ sides, as desired.
