Ingredient Notes:

• Corn Bread Mixture – Use your favorite brand of Cornbread mix. I prefer Jiffy because the ingredients are easy to have on hand.
• Eggs
• Milk
• Hot Dogs – cut into 3 or 4 pieces each.

Directions:

Step One– Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. 

Step Two – Whisk together cornbread mix with eggs and milk until smooth. (If using a different brand read the box and prepare your cornbread according to package directions)

Step Three – Fill your prepared muffin tin 3/4 way full with your cornbread mix. Add diced hot dogs to each muffin. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until muffin dough is cooked and a toothpick could come out clean.

Variations and Substitutions

• Use mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages for bite-sized appetizers.
• Stir shredded cheddar cheese into the cornbread batter.
• Add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use turkey or chicken hot dogs for a lighter option.
• Mix a little honey into the batter for a sweeter cornbread flavor.
