Recipe: All-Day Crock Dogs in Smoky Beer Broth (crock pot)

ALL-DAY CROCK DOGS IN SMOKY BEER BROTH

2 beers (12 ounces each)
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, sliced
1/4 cup bottled smoke
2 pounds hot dogs

Combine the beer, bay leaves, onion and bottled smoke in a medium to large slow cooker (at least 4 quarts). Turn on high to heat the broth.

Lightly char the hot dogs at a moderate heat level using a broiler, grill pan, skillet, toaster oven or grill. Add the hot dogs to the slow cooker.

Cover slow cooker and reduce the heat to low. Add beer or water and additional dogs as necessary. You can add more dogs, just use enough liquid to keep the dogs submerged.

Once heated through, the links will be ready as long as the cooker is plugged in.
