Ingredients Needed

Box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Egg
Milk
Sour Cream
Vegetable Oil
Cheddar Cheese
Hot Dogs – 4 bun length hot dogs work well

Ingredients to make hot dog corn muffins are milk, vegetable oil, hot dogs, an egg, Jiffy corn muffin mix, cheddar cheese and sour cream on a wooden counter top.

Step By Step Instructions

Mix together by hand the Jiffy corn muffin mix, egg, milk sour cream and oil. Stir well with a wooden spoon.

Add shredded cheddar cheese and fold into the batter.

Wooden spoon stirring sour cream into a corn muffin mix along with oil and an egg in a white bowl.

Wooden spoon stirring together Jiffy corn muffin batter.

Generously grease a muffin tin. Carefully fill ten of the spaces half full.

Chop the uncooked hot dogs into bite sized pieces and place 4 to 5 pieces into each tin with batter.

Gently press down into the batter so that most of the hot dog will still be exposed to the heat.

Shredded cheddar cheese added to corn muffin mix in a white bowl.

Bite size pieces of hot dogs pressed into muffin tins filled with corn bread mix with shredded cheese.

Bake for 15 – 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Serve warm and enjoy!

We found that these hot dog corn muffins have the best eye appeal, flavor, and cook the most evenly when small pieces of hot dog are added to the top of the batter in the muffin tin just before baking.

We also tested mixing the hot dogs directly into the batter and layering the batter and hot dogs in the muffin tin. Both methods worked, but the muffins didn’t look as appealing, and the hot dogs didn’t develop the same browned, flavorful finish they get when baked on top.
