You did not get tickets for the World Series Giants game tonight but still want to party? One question on my US citizenship test was, "what food do baseball fans eat during every inning?" Hot dogs of course! (Just kidding).
However, this is how you pass the test to prepare Hot Dogs for a large Giants fans crowd:
You get 60 standing hot dogs in a 6-quart crockpot. 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 crockpot 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.
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. Serve with tongs into regular or pretzel buns, and top with desired fixens' like onions, pickles, cheese, mustard, and ketchup.
Your dogs can stay on the "warm" setting for an awfully long time. If your pot has a hot spot (mine does), the dogs on the edge will get kind of crispy and blackened, which will COMPLETELY fool your 10-year-old into thinking you learned how to barbecue.
Goooooooo Giants!
