Slow Cooker Hot Dog Hash

Slow Cooker Hot Dog Hash. This easy slow cooker hot dog hash uses just 3 simple things. It’s warm, filling food like what families ate in tough times long ago, like the 1930s. It comes from basic stuff in your kitchen—hot dogs, potatoes, and onions. They turn into a big, yummy meal after cooking slow. My grandpa ate this when money was short. We still make it for cheap, cozy dinners that feel like home. Potatoes get soft, onions sweet, and hot dogs tasty in yummy juices.

A simple, hearty hot dog hash made in a slow cooker with potatoes, onions, and sliced hot dogs. Just 3 ingredients cook low and slow into tender bites with crispy edges and rich juices. Perfect budget meal for 4, ready in 3-4 hours on high. Nostalgic comfort food that’s filling and easy.

Serve right from the slow cooker with a spoon. Let everyone grab some. Pair with green beans, peas, or canned corn like old times. Add warm rolls or toast to mop up the yummy brown juices. For more, try a salad or apple slices for fresh crunch next to the soft warmth.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 big yellow onion, chopped up

• 1 pound hot dogs (about 8), cut into 1/2-inch slices

Slow Cooker Hot Dog Hash: Directions

1. Rub a little oil or spray inside a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker so potatoes won’t stick while they get golden edges.

2. Put chopped potatoes flat on the bottom. This helps them touch heat and turn soft with crisp sides.

3. Sprinkle chopped onion over potatoes in an even layer. They’ll get soft, clear, and sweet with moisture.

4. Place hot dog slices on top in one layer. Edges will brown for that old pan-fried taste.

5. Put on the lid. Cook on HIGH 3 to 4 hours, or LOW 6 to 7 hours. Skip stirring for first 2 hours so bottoms brown for better flavor.

6. After 2 hours, stir gently. Scrape up browned bits from bottom and sides into the mix for rich juices.

7. Keep cooking. Stir 1-2 more times till potatoes are fork-tender, onions soft, and hot dogs crisp outside but soft inside.

8. Test a potato and hot dog bite. When tasty with brown liquid at bottom, switch to WARM. Stir once more to blend juices, then serve hot from the pot.
