One day, my dad came across a recipe for Dr Pepper Pork Ribs and decided to give it a try. It was a hit with our family and friends, and we have been making it ever since. The combination of sweet and savory flavors from the Dr Pepper and barbecue sauce makes for a delicious and memorable meal that everyone loves. In this recipe, I'll share how to make these mouthwatering ribs in a slow cooker for a convenient and easy cooking method that results in fall-off-the-bone tender meat.
