CORN DOG MUFFINS FOR THE KIDS !!

My daughter came up with this very clever lunch idea and since many of you have little ones at home this summer, I thought I would share it with you. She has 4 children (ages 3 to 9) and she is always coming up with something fun for them to eat (she is a great cook). She told me that these corn dog muffins and a side-dish of fruit salad were a big hit with her little ones.
This recipe, starts with a box of Jiffy corn bread mix, some hot dogs and cheese.

Make the corn bread mix according to the package directions. Lightly grease a cupcake pan and put a couple spoonfuls of prepared muffin mix into each hole. Put 1/4 of a hot dog and a piece of your favorite cheese on top of the batter and top it with a little more batter. Bake as per the box instructions. That's it! What could be quicker?

What I think is great about this "recipe" is the endless possibilities! You can "fill" the muffins with little smokie's, or left over taco meat, or chili; just about anything would work.

What a quick, inexpensive, easy and tasty hot lunch for the kids!! Thanks for the idea BreeAnn!!

Coleen, your daughter is a genius (apple doesn't fall far from the tree :-)).

Thanks for sharing this great idea!

That looks like a kid crowd pleaser if I've ever seen one before. Even my husband would like it!

This is awesome. Kat loves corndogs, hot dogs, and cornbread, so this will fit the bill. And it will probably taste better than those corn dogs from the freezer. Thanks!

I'll bet my oldest son Justin (who really isn't a kid anymore!!) would love this!

Debbie said...

Great idea! My son would love these.

Gosh, this is such a great idea. I LOVE those little boxes of corn muffin mix! And aren't you good to think about using leftover chili, etc. Now that sounds terrific too! Oh, I think I NEED this! My mouth is watering!

Krista said...

That is clever! And probably better for the kiddos than deep fried corn dogs. Thanks for the idea!

I made baked corndogs earlier in the year and while I thought they were very clever, I didn't love the cornbread recipe. In fact I wrote in my post that I thought Jiffy was better! So I know I'd love these! Thanks to you and your daughter!
