HOW LONG DO YOU COOK HOT DOGS?
- Hot dogs may be cooked in a slow cooker on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours.

Tips and Tricks
- Keep the Hawaiian rolls stuck together until you are ready to serve these delicious sliders. This makes assembly much easier than working on individual sliders one at a time.
- I like to bake this easy recipe on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Leftover hot dogs may be stored in an airtight container for up to one week in the fridge. You can microwave hot dogs to reheat them to use for later.
- To get the best results with this simple recipe, use quality ingredients, like all-beef hot dogs.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the hot dogs are cooked thoroughly.
