👨🍳 Step-by-Step Slow Cooking Instructions:
1. Build the Flavor Foundation
Lightly grease the insert of your slow cooker. Scatter your roughly chopped onions and smashed garlic cloves evenly across the bottom. This creates a fragrant bed for the ribs to rest on, preventing them from boiling directly in the liquid while infusing the meat with incredible savory notes. 🧅🧄
