When entertaining a group of people, you can’t go wrong by making hot dogs for the kids since hot dog eating is one of their favorite meal time treats. A simple way to achieve this is by putting 1-2 hot dogs per child, in a crock pot; add just enough water to keep them plump and moist, 1/2 cup should be enough but check them occasionally to make sure they aren’t getting dry and wrinkled. Set on medium heat; have buns and condiments near the crock pot and an adult to supervise or serve them.
