Slow Cooker Hot Dogs

If you need to feed a crowd, consider these slow cooker hot dogs--they could not be easier. Simply line up a whole bunch of hot dogs along the wall of your slow cooker. The key is that each dog has contact with the wall or bottom of the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to high and let the hot dogs sit for several hours. You may want to occasionally turn the hot dogs so that they darken on all sides. No need to add anything else.

On the Fourth of July, the family got together at Mom's, and she made these tasty hot dogs. She cooked these for about 2 hours. Cooking them longer will get the outside even crispier, which Megan and I particularly enjoy. The taste of these slow cooker hot dogs is unique--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. When I was a kid, I always put ketchup on my hot dog. Some say that mustard reigns supreme and that ketchup has no business being on a hot dog. But you can put whatever you want on your hot dog and I won't argue with you.
