Did you know that you can cook hot dogs in the crockpot?  It is the best way to prepare hot dogs for a large crowd!

I actually left mine on high for 3 hours and they were perfect! This method actually steams the hot dogs and keeps them warm during the party too!

I used a 4 quart crockpot and it held 48 hot dogs.  Do not use bun length hot dogs as they will be too tall for the slow cooker.  If you use a 6 quart crockpot you can easily use 64 hot dogs.  I found that standing them up straight worked perfectly.  It was also great for serving too!
