Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove all of the hot dogs from the packaging, and add each one to the slow cooker. You can place them standing up if the lid will still fit, or you can lay them on their side.
  • Place the lid on the Crock Pot and set it on low for 2-3 hours, stirring the hot dogs occasionally with a wooden spatula to keep them from burning.*
  • After 2-3 hours, serve and enjoy with your favorite condiments and toppings!*

Notes

*In case you're wondering, there's no need to add any water to the slow cooker. When they're cooked in the Crock Pot, hot dogs are moist enough that they will produce their own steam.
*Most hot dogs are already precooked, so you really just need to get them hot enough to serve.
*If your slow cooker has a "keep warm" function, you can set it there and let the hot dogs sit in the slow cooker at this setting for 3-4 hours until you're ready to serve. 
How should I store leftover hot dogs?
Leftover hot dogs are best stored in an airtight container or zip-loc bag in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat your hot dogs exactly the same as you cooked them initially.
