⭐ Why You’ll Love This McRib Copycat Recipe

  • 🍖 Slow cooked to tender, fall-apart perfection
  • 🧄 Smoky, savory flavor without a grill
  • 🥪 Simple ingredients, huge payoff
  • 🕒 Minimal prep—set it and forget it!
  • 🍔 Feeds a crowd or freezes beautifully

🧾 Ingredients

For the Ribs:

  • 2 lbs boneless country-style pork ribs
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional for heat)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup water or broth

For Assembly:

  • 4–6 hoagie rolls or sub sandwich buns
  • Extra BBQ sauce for topping
  • Sliced dill pickles
  • Thinly sliced white onion

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Season the Pork

Rub the ribs with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Make sure they’re coated evenly.

2. Add to Slow Cooker

Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker. Pour in water or broth, then add BBQ sauce. Stir gently to coat.

3. Cook Low & Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until ribs are fork-tender and easy to shred.

4. Shred or Flatten the Meat

Once done, remove pork and shred it OR press gently to keep larger pieces (more like the McRib). Optional: brush with more BBQ sauce and broil for 3–5 minutes to add a smoky crust.

5. Assemble the Sandwiches

Toast buns lightly. Add a layer of BBQ pork, drizzle extra BBQ sauce, top with sliced pickles and onions.

6. Serve Hot & Enjoy!

These taste best fresh out of the slow cooker, but leftovers reheat beautifully.

🔄 Optional Add-Ons

  • 🔥 Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce
  • 🧀 Add melted cheddar or pepper jack
  • 🥬 Top with slaw for a Southern twist
  • 🍞 Use pretzel buns or brioche for extra flavor

📦 Storage & Reheating

  • Store pork mixture in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Reheat in a pan or microwave with extra BBQ sauce for moisture
  • Freeze pork in portions for up to 3 months—great for meal prep!

📣 Final Thoughts

If you’re a fan of the famous McRib, this slow cooker version is a game changer. It’s rich, messy, smoky, and saucy—the way a rib sandwich should be. And with only a few ingredients and your trusty crockpot, you’ll never need to chase seasonal fast food again.
