1 cup water: Creates the sauce base ensuring the beef remains moist during cooking.
1 cup ketchup: Adds a rich tomato-based flavor and sweetness to the sauce.
1 6 oz can tomato paste: Thickens the sauce and provides a concentrated tomato flavor.
3/4 cup brown sugar: Contributes sweetness to balance the acidity of the vinegar and ketchup.
1/2 cup vinegar: Provides tanginess that brightens up the dish balancing the other ingredients.
2 tbsp prepared mustard: Adds a unique zesty flavor enhancing the overall depth of the sauce.
1 tbsp salt: Essential for seasoning the meat and amplifying the flavors in the dish.
2 pounds beef back ribs: The star of the dish these tender ribs absorb the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce fantastically.

Prepare the BBQ Sauce: In your slow cooker, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of ketchup, 1 (6 oz) can of tomato paste, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of vinegar, 2 tbsp of prepared mustard, and 1 tbsp of salt. Mix all ingredients until well blended and the sugar dissolves.
Coat the Ribs: Take 2 pounds of beef back ribs and coat them inside the BBQ sauce until they are fully covered. Ensuring a thorough coat will enhance flavors significantly.
Slow Cook: Set your slow cooker on LOW and cook the ribs for approximately 8 hours. You want the beef to become tender and infused with the BBQ goodness.
Serve: Once cooking is complete, serve the beef ribs accompanied by any remaining BBQ sauce. Pair with sides like coleslaw or cornbread to complement the flavors.
