2 cups BBQ Sauce
1 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons oregano
1 tablespoon liquid smoke (if you like a smokey flavor)
Dash of hot sauce (if you desire a spicier flavor)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the ribs in a shallow baking pan, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn over and bake for 15 minutes more. Drain off the fat.
In a medium bowl, combine BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and oregano (and liquid smoke and/or hot sauce, if desired).
Place ribs in a large crockpot (at least 6 quart). Curl them around or cut in half. Pour sauce over the ribs and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until tender.
If you want to carmelize the BBQ sauce, put the ribs back in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
