Easy Mini Corn Dog Dinner Recipe

No time to cook dinner? Fret not! These wickedly delicious (and seriously cute) mini corn dog bites are a perfect quick meal to throw together that the whole family will happily devour. First time I whipped up a batch, I was actually surprised how much I liked them considering I don’t love hot dogs.

But these are a little sweet, a little salty, and just the right size to pop in your mouth. The kids loved them, they were super simple to make, and they were a fun venture from our normal lunch or dinner.

We have a fall party most years, and this is such a great dish to add to the menu this time of year. They’ll go perfectly with a hot bowl of chili and some homemade root beer.

Description

Quick, simple, and delicious mini baked corn dogs are the perfect easy lunch or dinner for your busy weeks. Your kids will love these cute little corn dog bites!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Bread Mix (8.5 ounce box)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 hot dogs, cut into 6 pieces each

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease mini muffin tins, and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the Jiffy mix, egg, milk, and spices. Whisk until completely combined.
  3. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the cornbread batter into each muffin cup, and then gently press a piece of hot dog into the middle of each muffin.

  5. Let the mini corn dogs rest in the pan a few minutes before removing.

Notes

  • The Jiffy corn bread mix was surprisingly sweet. I like a sweet and salty combo, so I enjoyed it. If you like your cornbread or corn dogs less sweet, then you might want to try a different brand of corn bread mix.
  • Hebrew National are out favorite brand of hot dogs. They have so much flavor!
