Honestly, I was looking forward to some time with my husband home for a couple of days and us not having any major commitments or plans. While so many people party it up over the New Year's holiday, it is usually our "down-time" after the prior week's craziness surrounding Christmas.
My son wanted coney dogs for New Year's Eve while his buddy was over, so I broke out the slow cooker! We made up a huge batch of homemade french fries and enjoyed some simple grub while we prepared to ring in the new year!
It's almost embarrassing to post this "recipe" since it is such a simple and easy one. But, it is a great tip for those who have never heard of cooking hot dogs in the slow cooker. This is a great way to do hot dogs or sausages for a large crowd. They stay hot throughout a party or event as people eat at their leisure.
This is a great idea if you plan to host a Super Bowl party this year, too! Guests can trickle in and out of the kitchen to make a coney or chili dog all throughout the game!
