An easy slow cooker recipe to feed a crowd!

One of my favorite, super easy slow cooker recipes to feed a crowd is hot dogs. It’s a simple way to put together a quick meal that will feed lots of folks.

I’ve used this for our church youth group and our church small group so far. It would also be a great option for birthday parties and picnic holidays.

And it’s so incredibly simple that I almost feel silly for making a whole post about it! Two steps is all it takes!

1. Dump the hot dogs you prefer into your slow cooker.
2. Set the temperature to low for four hours or high for two hours.

That’s it! Throughout the cooking time, move them around a little a time or two.

And then just serve them up with buns, your favorite toppings and easy sides like chips, simple pasta salad and cookies.

A couple of sidenotes to avoid confusion:

• Don’t add water to the slow cooker. It’s not needed.
• You can stack the hot dogs vertically or just plop them in horizontally. I’ve done both. If you have more to cook, then vertically probably fits more, but it’s also easier for one end of the hot dogs to get darker that way.

Making hot dogs in your slow cooker is way easier than you’d ever guess!

When you’re short on time

Any food made in the slow cooker requires a bit of planning ahead, because it takes a while. But what about when you’re short on time and need to get a slew of hot dogs made stat?

Make them in your oven! It’s even easier than on the grill. Find all the details here:
