Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces hot dogs
- 8 oz cornbread mix
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Slice the hot dogs into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, egg, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.
Pour half of the cornbread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Distribute the sliced hot dogs over the cornbread layer.
Pour the remaining cornbread mixture evenly over the hot dogs, ensuring they are well covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Garnish with extra green onions or a drizzle of ketchup and mustard for a classic corn dog touch.
