Begin by unpacking the hot dogs and arranging them standing upright in the crockpot. This helps fit more hot dogs while allowing for even heating.
Pour 1 cup of water into the crockpot. This will prevent the hot dogs from drying out during cooking.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to the low heat setting.
Cook the hot dogs on low for 2 hours. If you're short on time, you can cook on high heat for 1 hour.
Stir gently halfway through the cooking time (optional) to ensure the hot dogs are fully coated with moisture.
When the hot dogs are fully warmed and steaming, switch the slow cooker to the 'warm' setting to keep them hot until ready to serve.
Serve the hot dogs in buns with your choice of ketchup, mustard, or any other preferred toppings.
Enjoy your easy, no-fuss crockpot hot dogs!
