Corn Dog Casserole
Do you want the ultimate kid-friendly dinner recipe? You must make this Corn Dog Casserole - complete with everything you love about a corn dog - sweet, golden brown, cornbread-like exterior with a beef hot dog in the center. You don't even have to fry anything! Simply mix everything together and dump it into a casserole dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (beaten with fork)
- 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
- 1 container (8 oz) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter melted
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn drained
- 8 hot dogs (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the beaten eggs, cream-style corn, sour cream, and melted butter until combined. *Do not drain the canned corn, just dump it in. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk with a fork before adding into the bowl.2 large eggs, 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn, 1 container (8 oz) sour cream, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- Add in the Jiffy cornbread mix, drained corn, and sliced hot dogs. Stir until evenly combined. *If wanted, reserve some of the sliced hot dog pieces to place on top of the casserole for a prettier presentation.1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, 8 hot dogs
- Pour the corn dog casserole batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Top with reserved hot dog slices (if you set some aside).
- Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve with your favorite corn dog condiments - drizzle of honey, ketchup, mustard, etc.
Notes
- If you're serving little ones, be sure and chop the hot dogs into small pieces to reduce the risk of choking. You can quarter the hot dog slices or dice them up finer - no matter how the hot dogs are cut, it will turn out delicious, so cut them as small as needed to make it safe for toddlers and younger kids to eat.
- For a crispier top (similar to the fried corn dog batter), pop the casserole under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cook time - just keep a close eye on it to make sure it does not burn.
- This casserole can be tricky knowing when it's done. Look for the edges to be golden brown and pulled away from the edges of the pan, and the center of the casserole to be golden brown as well and not jiggly at all. I made the mistake of pulling out the casserole too early and the center, although it looked done, was soft and soggy because it hadn't baked fully. So the key is to really make sure the top and sides of the casserole are browned (think similar to a crispy golden brown corn dog exterior).
