Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed and there are no dry pockets.
Cut the hot dogs into 1-inch pieces, aiming for about 3 pieces per hot dog.
Divide the cornbread batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds of the way full.
Gently press one piece of hot dog into the center of each batter-filled cup. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each muffin if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the hot dog) comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your easy and quick corn dog muffins with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce!
