To assemble this easy appetizer, cut bacon strips into 4ths. Wrap a single bacon strip around each cocktail-sized hotdogs, place a pickled jalapeno on top for a little color and spice, then secure with a toothpick. 

Line them up in your slow cooker and sprinkle with a bit of onion powder and light brown sugar. Then drizzle evenly with Dale’s low-sodium blend Seasoning. 

Pour in a can of tomato sauce, then cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours. Then serve directly from your crockpot or on a platter.
