4 teaspoons chili powder 3 teaspoons packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon black pepper 1.1 lg (about 2.5lbs) pork ribs ½ cup barbecue sauce

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, brown sugar. cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Cut ribs into 4 sections (if desired -- you could leave them whole). Rub spice mixture over both sides of the ribs. Lightly grease a 4 quart slow cooker and line the sections of ribs up around the edges (so the meaty part is pressed against the side). Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove from the slow cooker, brush with barbecue sauce, and grill for 5-6 minutes or broil for 2-3 minutes, until sauce is sticky and slightly caramelized. Serve.
