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.
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.

burgers and still allow the ones on top to drain as well. Then add the next layer of burgers.
5. Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2-2 hours. Serve on buns.

This corn on the cob recipe for Easy Corn On The Cob is a
great alternative to grilling. This recipe only requires salt,
water, and of course corn, yet it results in the same sweet
taste we have all grown to love. 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 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 to 4 hours. Check occasionally and turn/rotate corn so all sides
have a chance in the water.
