SLOW COOKER HOT DOGS FOR A CROWD

BY: STEPHANIE O'DEA (AUTHOR OF THE MAKE IT FAST, COOK IT SLOW COOKBOOKS AND TOTALLY TOGETHER: SHORTCUTS TO AN ORGANIZED LIFE)

Whether you're looking for hot dog recipes for kids or just need party sandwich recipes for your next gathering, try this Slow Cooker Hot Dogs for a Crowd recipe. This recipe makes 60 hot dogs! Thirty of your closest friends can enjoy two hot dogs a person.

YIELDS: 60 HOT DOGS


INGREDIENTS

60 hot dogs

buns

fixings

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unwrap all the hot dogs and throw out the wrappers. 2. Stand hotdogs on end if you're trying to cram in 60. If not, you can just dump them in.

There's no need to add water. This is for two reasons: 1, the hotdogs will release moisture all on their own, and 2, if you have a slow cooker full of hot dog water it'll just be kind of gross to dig through the water to pick them out, and 3 (I lied, there are 3 reasons) if the hotdogs hang out in hot water for too long they'll end up splitting on you.

3. Cover, and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or on HIGH for about 2 hours--check to make sure the ones in the middle are fully hot before serving.

4. Serve with tongs into buns and top with desired fixings.

EASY CORN ON THE COB

BY: WENDY FROM AROUND MY FAMILY TABLE

This corn on the cob recipe for Easy Corn On The Cob is a great alternative to grilling.

The only difference between this technique and grilling is that you have to remove the corn husks before you cook the ears of corn in your slow cooker. Corn on the cob tastes great with almost any dish, but you may want to serve this corn on the cob recipe alongside chicken, beef or fish.


INGREDIENTS:

water

corn on the cob

salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fill slow cooker about ¾ of the way with water. Season liberally with salt. 2. Clean corn of husk and fibers. Trim slightly to fit into slow cooker. Put into water. Corn will

float. 3. Cook on HIGH for about 3 ½ to 4 hours. Check occasionally and turn/rotate corn so all sides

have a chance in the water.
