Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 1 package (approximately 8.5 oz) cornbread mix
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces jalapeños, finely diced
- 0.75 cup canned corn kernels, drained
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a thin layer of butter.
Cut the hot dogs into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, egg, melted butter, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, corn kernels, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour half of the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Arrange the sliced hot dogs evenly across the batter layer.
Pour the remaining cornbread batter over the hot dogs, spreading it to cover them completely. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with extra jalapeño slices, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Enjoy!
