How to Make Dilly Ribs in a Slow Cooker

Cris here.

We absolutely love ribs around here and truth be told, these ribs are one of our absolute favorites! So, when Iowa pork farmers asked us to share a recipe, I knew this was one that you guys would LOVE! It is so simple and even low in carbs. We love the melt in your mouth tenderness of these ribs and the fact that with just a handful of ingredients it packs in a whole lot of flavor.

The Secrets To That Incredible Flavor

There are a couple secrets to lead to the incredible flavor of this dish.

First and foremost is cooking the ribs low and slow as we like to say. Cooking ribs in a slow cooker allows all the flavor from the fat in the ribs to cook down into the meat and produce and incredibly tender and flavorful dish. You can know ribs are done when they are tender and a tough rib in a slow cooker needs to just cook a bit longer. Our favorite type of rib to use in this recipe is the Pork Back Ribs, however we have used St. Louis Style Ribs before as well. By the way, if you’ve noticed that the names of pork cuts have changed, you aren’t wrong. Here is a handy chart to help you find just the cut you need.

The second secret to all that flavor is pickle juice! The salty brine from the pickle juice brings out the flavor of the ribs perfectly while adding a subtle hint of dill that will have folks asking for this recipe.

Broiling Ribs

The third secret to these ribs is the broiling step. After cooking these ribs all day low and slow in that incredible pickle mixture,  you can broil them for just a few minutes to crisp up outside of the ribs just a bit.

Notes on Crock Pot Dilly Ribs

  • We used Pork Back Ribs for this recipe, however you can use other types of ribs if you would like.
  • You can use any 6 quart slow cooker to make this dish. All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
  • We did not cut our ribs in this recipe before cooking. We just curl them around the slow cooker. You can cut yours if you’d like, but it isn’t necessary. The important part of the recipe is to make sure the cooking mixture gets poured all over the ribs however you choose to place them in the pot.
  • Cooking the pickles in the dish causes them to lose their flavor, so we prefer to wait to add them as a garnish at the end.
  • We like to use a lined cookie sheet to broil our ribs. You can line the cookie sheet with foil or a reusuable liner.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.

Pork Facts You May Not Know

  • Sometimes a little pink in your pork is just fine. While cooking ribs until tender is a great way to know that they are done, if you struggle with other cuts of pork being too tough or too dry, a meat thermometer might TOTALLY be a game changer for you.  This chart is such a handy tool that will help you get it right. You might be really surprised to see how much a difference a meat thermometer can make. This is an inexpensive one we use all the time in our kitchen.
  • Did you know that about 1/3 of all pork produced in the U.S. is produced by Iowa Pork Farmers? That means that when you buy your favorite pork products from bacon to pork roasts to ribs, you are supporting Iowa pork farmer families.
  • Pork is packed with protein.
