Tips
- Pack the covered crockpot in a container surrounded by newspapers or other insulating material, or wrap it in a blanket to insulate. Make sure it's placed on a flat surface and the cover is well secured so there's no danger of tipping or spills. Take it to the party, plug it in, and turn it to low. Serve the sauce hot from the slow cooker along with hot dogs, split buns, and toppings.
