Corn Dog Muffins
Corn Dog Muffins
Yield: 24 mini muffins
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
I'm sure you're thinking that this one is for the kids, but you just might find yourself dipping into these too! They're a little bit addicting, especially if you use a good cornbread mix! For testing purposes, I used a box of Trader Joe's cornbread mix & then followed the instructions in the "Tips" below... no additional sugar needed. They were delicious as is.
Ingredients:
2 (8.5 ounce) packages corn bread mix
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
9 whole hot dogs, diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
ketchup, mustard, sour cream, honey mustard (for dipping)Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease mini muffin tins.
2. In a large bowl, stir together cornbread mix and brown sugar. In a small bowl whisk together eggs and milk, and then stir into dry mixture until moistened. Mix in hot dogs and cheese.
3. Spoon a good Tablespoonful into muffin tins, making sure you get some hot dog in each spoonful.
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan before removing. For easy removal, cut around outsides of the muffins, then tip upside down onto a large cutting board & urge the muffins out using a knife to tap the bottoms of the muffin tins. They should slide right out.
5. Serve warm with desired dipping sauces.
Tips:
*Alternately, you can use your favorite cornbread mix, follow the instructions on the box, add in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and mix in chopped hot dogs too. If your favorite cornbread mix doesn't have a sweet element to it, add in 2 Tbsp. brown sugar.
*You can use paper liners if you'd like.Source: www.RecipeGirl.com

Interesting, in a very good way. I can’t wait to try these. Trader Joe’s has the best cornbread mix!

You are killing me with these. Love hot dogs & carbs – would be very difficult to share these muffins.

Ahhh!! These are so cute! I bet I could add some jalapenos to half the batch and give it a wee spicy kick. Mmmm, these look great, can’t wait to try them!!

This is now on my to-do list. You might want to edit it, however, to include the step of adding the hot dogs to the batter.

These are so yummy! Just made them for a BBQ today and of course had to “taste test” one! Yummy! My son will love them and I hope others at the BBQ do too!
Thank you!

Such a clever idea! I pinned it so I remember to try it with my son.

These sound good. Did you use 2 TJ boxes or one? And if you use another brand, is that only one box?

Whatever adds up to about 17 ounces worth of mix should be fine. The recipe is referring to those little boxes of Jiffy cornbread that are super tiny. Otherwise, a regular-sized mix should be just right.
