Title: NAIROBI CLUB WEINERS
Categories: Appetizers, Alcohol, Meats
Yield: 999 servings

4 pk Hot Dogs (meat/beef)
1 cn Beer
1 pk KC Masterpeice BBQ sauce

Chicken hot dogs won’t work, beef works best but “meat” one are ok. Cut hot
dogs into 1″ pieces and put in crock pot. Cover with beer, I use the cheap
stuff. cover and cook for several hours, until the dogs plump up. drain off
beer and cover with BBQ sauce. Cook a couple of more hours. This is much
better than it sounds. Kids will generally hate it, but adults will inhale
it. I know…it’s *hot dogs*, but this is different.

Recipe from the kitchen of Joan Mershon.
