This baby back ribs slow cooker recipe couldn't be easier — ribs go in the slow cooker with teriyaki sauce. Once cooked through, they are glazed with a simple balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds baby back ribs, cut into 2-rib portions
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 cup teriyaki sauce, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, pressed

Directions

1 Sprinkle baby back ribs with pepper and place in a slow cooker. Pour 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce on top. Cover and cook until tender, 4 hours on High or 7 hours on Low.
2 Cut ribs apart. Combine remaining 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce, balsamic vinegar, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Brush sauce over ribs.
