I wanted to riff on hot dogs, so I made corn dog muffins. I added jalapenos to this “kid friendly” recipe and won my husband over, too. —Becky Tarala, Palm Coast, Florida

Ingredients

1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix
2/3 cup 2% milk
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
5 turkey hot dogs, sliced
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeno, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Line nine muffin cups with foil liners or grease nine nonstick muffin cups.
In a small bowl, combine muffin mix, milk and egg; stir in hot dogs, cheese and, if desired, jalapeno. Fill prepared cups three-fourths full.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 14-18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, microwave each muffin on high until heated through, 30-60 seconds.

These muffins are an easy-to-make twist on the corn dog. The recipe states the jalapeno is optional but I say that is what makes them so good! It's just a little hint of heat but adds great flavor. I used my favorite homemade corn bread recipe when I mixed up a batch. I think any type of hot dog you like would work. I used the kind I always buy not turkey ones.

Husband and grandchildren loved these. Next time definitely need to make enough to freeze - they disappeared quickly!!

My kids LOVE corn dogs so I made the kid-friendly version (no jalape?os) and it was a hit...even with my notoriously picky son!I used Jiffy brand corn bread/muffin mix which has a very subtle sweetness to it. The finished product may have a different flavor with a different brand mix.This a was an incredibly easy recipe using ingredients I just about always have on-hand. It will be perfect for a busy school night and is guaranteed to become part of our regular meal plan!

I absolutely loved the concept...kid friendly, fast, easy recipe. But my kiddos weren't fans, and husband didn't rave. I am sure others will get a kick out of it though, and it's a fun twist on a fair favorite.

These were amazing! I made these specifically for my son thinking he would enjoy them. He did but my husband enjoy them more than anybody else. We had no leftovers! I will be tripling the batch next time so I can freeze some.
