How Do I Cook the Party Hot Dogs?

Cook the sliced dogs with barbecue sauce and ketchup right in the slow cooker for an easy, hands-off meal. This simple method creates saucy, flavorful hot dogs that are perfect for busy days and feeding a crowd.They will keep warm. And as the hot dogs cook, they will carmelize in the sauce and add extra flavors.

How Long Do the Hot Dogs Cook?

They should cook for 4 to 6 hours. Stir the mixture every hour to keep it from burning on the bottom. Once they puff out a bit, they are ready to serve. Keep the slow cooker on low when serving. You can safely cook them a little longer than expected without any issues. You’ll have made hot dog burnt ends (that are amazing).

Notes

You want the hot dogs to be wet and coated with the BBQ sauce, so you may need more, it depends on how many you make. We used the smallest crock pot we had (2 quart). For bigger events, you will need to adjust the amounts you use.
