Easy Meal Idea – Corn Dog Muffins Recipe

I found this corn dog muffin recipe and I just had to make them.

Aren’t these corn dog muffins the cutest things?

Since I like to only cook once and serve twice, I wanted to try to make these Corn Dog Muffins a little healthier. In order to make this more like a meal, I needed to add at least a vegetable. I decided to add a little dairy too, cheese. There now that is a complete meal, right?

Easy Corn Dog Muffins Recipe

Corn Dog Muffins

Ingredients for Easy Corn Dog Muffins Recipe:

1 package hot dogs 
2 packages corn muffin mix 
1 can corn (drained) 
1 cup cheese 
ketchup & mustard for garnish

Directions for Easy Corn Dog Muffins Recipe:

1. Mix muffin mix according to directions on the package or make them homemade.

2. Add 1 can of corn drained and 1/2 cheese to the mixture.

3. Pour the corn muffin mix into a mini-muffin pan a little less than halfway. You need to leave some room to put the hot dog in the middle. The muffin mix will rise.

These Corn Dog Muffins are so cute with putting some ketchup on top with a little drop of mustard in the middle. We had 6 to 8 each and still had plenty left over for lunch the next day. I was thinking some sweet potato fries are a nice compliment.

The Corn Dog Muffins are perfect, since they are baked I don’t feel quite as guilty. I love the fact that these really tasted like corn dogs, since I never buy them. I don’t like to buy a lot of fried food for my kids to eat at home. These are great to make ahead and freeze for a quick and easy freezer meal on those nights you just don’t want to cook. Take a look at this ham and cheese muffin tin meal.

Oh wait you can consider the ketchup as an extra veggie, right?
