Ingredients
Scale
- 10 to 60 hot dogs (these should fit into a 6-quart crockpot)
Instructions
- In the slow cooker, place the hot dogs. This recipe was achieved with a 6-quart crockpot, but a larger crockpot should also typically work. Place them vertically in the crockpot; you can have as many as you want in the pot at a time.
- The crockpot should not be filled with water.
- Cook the hot dogs for 2 to 3 hours on high, or until all of the hot dogs get fully warmed and heated through.
- Afterward, reduce the heat to low in the crockpot to preserve the warmth of the hot dogs.

Notes
- Ideally, you rotate the hot dogs halfway through cooking if you want them to cook uniformly. Thanks to this rotation, the hot dogs at the top will cook simultaneously with the bottom ones.
- If the hot dogs are cooked for too long, pouring water into the crockpot is not a good idea as it may cause them to split.
- When removing the hot dogs, use tongs instead of forks, as forks tend to tear through hot dogs and force their juicy contents to spill out. The sausage may become a little dry as a result of the leakage.
- Water is not required for the hot dogs to cook properly. If you’re concerned about uneven results (getting some hot dogs more cooked than others), you can always rotate them in the slow cooker.
