Reminiscent of traditional corn dogs, this fun main dish really hits the spot on fall days. It's perfect for the football parties my husband and I often host. It tastes especially good right from the oven. -Marcy Suzanne Olipane, Belleville, Illinois

Ingredients

2 cups thinly sliced celery
2 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups sliced green onions
1-1/2 pounds hot dogs
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 packages (8-1/2 ounces each) cornbread/muffin mix
2 Kerrygold cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

In a small skillet, saute celery in butter 5 minutes. Add onions; saute 5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Place in a large bowl; set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°. Cut hot dogs into 1/2-inch slices. In the same skillet, saute hot dogs until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; add to vegetables. Set aside 1 cup.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sage and pepper. Add remaining hot dog mixture. Stir in cornbread mixes. Add 1-1/2 cups cheese. Spread into a shallow 3-qt. baking dish. Top with reserved hot dog mixture and remaining cheese.
Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

I did not like this. Way too much bread for the other ingredients. I would not make again.

I didn't enjoy, tasted very much like a thanksgiving stuffing with hot dogs. Probably good if you like stuffing.

I don't know what I did wrong, but this was not good. Didn't taste anything like a corn dog. I used Nathan's all beef & what a waste of expensive hot dogs!

My family loved this recipe. I did use a regular onion, instead of the green onion and 1 cup celery instead of two. Those were my only two changes.I did use good quality hot dogs, but since it didn't specify a brand I don't consider that a change, but I'm sure it helped. :)

Too dry and flavorless. I made it as directed except for adding a little more milk. It didn't help.

I've been making this recipe for years! I use less sage and I don't think it matters how you slice the hot dogs. Read my review at my blog - http://frugalfunlife.com/2014/10/05/corn-dog-casserole/My instructions are a little different, but they work for me. Great recipe!

This was ok. Much better if you put mustard on it! Not our favorite.

I have been making this recipe for years. It is good made with low fat or turkey hotdogs, skim milk and the 2% cheese. I've gotten lazy over the years and no longer saute the hot dogs to save time!
