I love fall-off-the-bone, finger-licking good ribs, and I think ribs sound like a great dinner idea for Father’s Day. And this collection of The BEST Slow Cooker Ribs for a Finger-Licking Dinner features slow cooker ribs that are spicy, sweet, smokey, Asian flavored, garlicky, peppery, fruity, soy-glazed, honey-sweetened, balsamic, Sriracha-spiced, and of course there are ribs with barbecue sauce! There are even some ribs here that are low-carb!

Some people think of ribs as a summer dish, and of course the best thing about making ribs in the slow cooker in the summer is that it keeps your house cool and frees you up to do other things. But this collection also features braised short ribs, which are definitely a cold-weather dish, and there are enough different ideas here for slow cooker ribs that you could enjoy ribs all year long.

And apparently lots of bloggers like to make ribs! When I started this collection I had planned to feature both Slow Cooker or Instant Pot options for ribs in one post, but there were so many amazing-looking ribs recipes that I decided the Instant Pot Ribs had to have a post of their own! So take your choice on the method for this delicious dinner idea!
