My kids love to dip their food{it makes eating more fun apparently}.
If a meal is dippable…then it’s a winner in their eyes.
I love these little Corn-Dog Nuggets cause they are soo simple and easy to make {not to mention affordable!}. They taste great, and of course…they are kid approved!
Check out these ingredients:
1 box of Jiffy Corn muffin mix ($0.38)
1 egg ($0.10)
1/3 cup milk ($0.05)
4 hot dogs ($0.88)
{Total Cost: $1.41}
What a great meal for those of us on a budget!
So here’s how you put it together:
Prepare the Corn Muffin Mix according to the box’s directions. Grease a mini-muffin tin and spoon the mixture in by the teaspoon full.
Cut your hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and place on top of the muffin mix.
Spoon about one and a half teaspoons of the mix over each hot dog. {I did half regular and half with cheese added.}
Bake at 350 for 15-20 min. or until golden brown on top.
Such a simple and tasty meal your kids will love. {Ok, I loved them too!}

This was a super easy recipe. They did come out a little dry, but next time I’ll add some sour cream or creamed corn as other commenters suggested, and probably reduce cooking time. But I will definitely make these again.

Thanks for your suggestions and comment Sherri! Glad you enjoyed them!

Can these be frozen once cooked?
Lorraine
Add a can of creamed corn to your corn bread mix, so moist and delicious!

How on earth do you get these to NOT turn into a crumbly mess?!? I just made them (in regular-size muffin tins, but that was the only difference) and I couldn’t get them out in anywhere close to one piece. The cornbread just crumbled to bits. So we had cornbread crumbles and little tiny hotdogs for dinner – NOT what I was going for!! Lol. I really like the idea of these though, so please – any help or tips you might have would be more than welcome!

Hi Michelle! It sounds like your cornbread could use a little bit more moisture. Make sure you have the right amount of liquids called for on the box, then you could also add 1/2 cup of sour cream which will give the cornbread a nice smooth texture, (and help it stick together better). I would also make sure to spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray before adding the batter. Hope that helps! 🙂
