Cornbread Muffin Corn Dogs

I have had so many cooking fails over the last week.  I mean total fail, feed the trash can kind of cooking.  That is why, I was happy this worked for me.

I had seen these on the Pioneer Woman (she made homemade cornbread) I knew I had to try them.

I took a box of Jiffy Cornbread mix from the grocery store, (1 egg and milk needed).  Made the cornbread, cut the hot dogs, and cooked. 

Yum.  Now, there is one caveat, I like a little more hot dog, so maybe I should make bigger pieces of hot dogs, or just fry up some extra to eat on the side.  Queso or chili would be great on the side of these. 

Recipe at bottom.

Below, cooked in stand alone muffin cups.

They really were good.  These are the foil muffin cups that you just sit on a sheet pan, a muffin pan would work too.

Hot dogs covered with batter. Ready to cook.

Before covering with batter. I wonder if I could of put two pieces side by side?  Like I said, I wanted a little more hot dog with mine.

So simple. 
Make cornbread.
Cut hot dogs into pieces.
Put a bit of batter in bottom of muffin cup.
Put a piece of hot dog in batter.
Cover with batter, going about halfway up the muffin cup.
Cook according to cornbread directions.
Enjoy.
