Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the muffins.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, and egg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Carefully fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to add a delicious cheesy flavor to the muffins.
Cut each hot dog into three equal pieces, giving you a total of 12 hot dog segments.
Spoon the cornbread batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds of the way full.
Press one piece of hot dog into the center of each muffin cup. Ensure the hot dog piece remains upright and is partially covered by the batter.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread portion comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Serve warm with your favorite condiments like ketchup or mustard, and enjoy!
