Cockpot Hot Dogs That Stay Juicy for A Crowd

Crockpot hot dogs are gently heated in the slow cooker with your choice of liquid, so they stay juicy, warm, and ready to serve for several hours. This setup is hands-off, easy, and practical for feeding a crowd at game days, parties, or casual gatherings.

Equipment

Ingredients

24 hot dogs
2 cups broth see notes for liquid options

Instructions

Set Up the Slow Cooker

Plug in the slow cooker and set it to the low setting.

Add the Hot Dogs

Stand the hot dogs upright in the slow cooker, nestling them tightly together so they stay vertical while cooking.
24 hot dogs
If there is extra space, place an empty glass canning jar in the slow cooker to help keep the hot dogs from tipping over.

Add the Liquid

Pour the broth into the bottom of the slow cooker. The liquid will create steam and help keep the hot dogs juicy.
2 cups broth

Cook

Cover with the lid and cook on low until the hot dogs are heated through.
Check occasionally, as cooking time can vary depending on the slow cooker.

Serve

Serve the hot dogs directly from the slow cooker with buns and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Serving Size Tip for Slow Cookers: When the hot dogs are standing upright, a 1.5-quart round slow cooker holds about 24 regular-length hot dogs, a 4-quart round holds about 48, and a 7-quart oval holds around 64.

Storage: Let leftover hot dogs cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or return them to the slow cooker on low until warmed through.
