Muffin Tin Mini Corn Dogs – Kids in the Kitchen #SundaySupper
I’ve mentioned before that this house loves hot dogs. This recipe combines hot dogs with that delicious sweet goodness of fresh baked corn bread, reminiscent of yummy corn dogs you would find at your local carnival without the fat and frying.
This week’s theme for our #SundaySupper Group is Kids in the Kitchen! You know I am all about having my kids in the kitchen with me. It not only gives us together time, but by helping prepare new dishes, it opens their minds to be more willing to try the dish. This sly Mommy tactic has always worked great with Baby…with Jed, my stubborn, bane of my existence will only eat dino nuggets or pasta picky eater, not so much. 
Ingredients
2 (8.5 ounce) packages cornbread mix
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
9 hot dogs, cut in half
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Lightly grease muffin tins.
3. Stir together the cornbread mix and the brown sugar in a large bowl.
4. Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
5. Fold the eggs and cheese into the dry mixture until moistened.
6. Spoon mixture into muffin tins until 2/3 full. Add 1 hot dog half to each muffin.
7. Bake in a preheated oven 14 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
We made mini and regular sized muffins. Both sizes turned out perfect. When you add a salad and a serving of macaroni/potato salad or Mediterranean couscous salad, dinner is done. This is the type of dinner I like to eat outside on the deck because there are not a million things to carry in and out of the house. One tray for each adult and everything is set and ready to eat.
You can find the recipe we use HERE from allrecipes.com, but we omit the additional sugar. I find the cornbread mix we use is sweet enough, but that is just our personal preference.
Now my second favorite part, of #SundaySupper (number one of course being eating the dish that we made), sharing all the amazing recipes my fellow foodie bloggers have prepared too! You can find everything from breakfast to dessert in the span of recipes all geared specifically towards cooking with kids and having them join you in the kitchen!
So, in the words of my three year old, “Let’s get this party started” and have some fun!

Would you believe that when my husband and I got married, he had NEVER had a corn dog? He was in his 50′s at the time! Love the mini version.

My son would absolutely love these muffins! He’s always happy when we have corn dogs in the freezer. I really like how easy they are….much easier than traditional corn dogs.

This looks wonderful. We used to eat hot dogs quite a bit. My daughter went through a phase. Then she stopped eating them. The other day I had such a hankering I just had to go buy some. Lol.

I’ve seen these around but I still haven’t made them. I think my little cousins would adore them and they would be simple for them to handle as well.
This is such a great way to get the corn dog taste without all the work involved in making and frying the corn dogs!! I don’t think even a crumb will be left on anyone’s plates!

These are perfect! I need to try them with my kids!
This I really like! I will be making “corn dogs” like this

Saved as a favorite, I really love your recipes!
