I don’t think I ever talked to you guys about how much I love corn dogs. I’d definitely put them on my top 10 list favorite foods list. Maybe in the top 5. I love them so much.

Once, way back when I was an itty bitty college freshman, I had a vegetarian roommate.

For weeks and weeks I craved a Sonic corn dog but refused to get one because I was so worried that she’d be offended by me bringing a corn dog into our room!

So eventually, after weeks of stressing myself out and even consulting my internet friends because I hadn’t made any actual friends who wouldn’t be scared off if I told them about The Great Corn Dog Debate of 2003, I finally got brave enough to get a dang corn dog and then almost fell down our stupid skinny spiral staircase 5 times trying to get to our room because I was so nervous. And then guess what. She wasn’t even there! I was safe to eat my corn dog in peace, burn the the evidence (just kidding) and then I went back to not eating meat in our room.

Gahh, I was weird. Also, why is this one of the only memories I have of living in the dorms?

I’m hoping this story proves that I really love corn dogs. Not that I spend too much time thinking about food.

How to Make Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins

Anyway, I’ve been spending most of my time napping, being addicted to CNN’s election coverage, and reading Phillippa Gregory books in preparation of my husband coming home soon which leaves very little time for things like cooking dinner.

We’ve been having a lot of sandwiches or easy meals like these Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins. They are my current favorite, mostly because I love any excuse to use a Jiffy cornbread mix. I love those things.

You mix the cornbread mix with an egg and a can of condensed cheddar soup. Spoon that into a muffin tin and top with a sliced hot dog. So easy!

My kids all love them too and we easily go through the entire batch. And bonus: they’re super cheap to make!

    I have not thought about jiffy muffin mix in SO long, my mom always used them – cornbread were the best- I’m not much of a corn dog gal, but my kiddos sure are

    bahahahaha!! You crack me up! My youngest son LOVES corndogs, when we stop for a treat after school, he always asks for corndogs instead of something sweet. I’m going to make thes for him, he’ll think I’m the bomb (do people say that anymore?)

    I always say I could take or leave a corndog until there is one in front of me. :) Tay is going to want to make these! These look like the perfect little thing to pack in lunches, with a side of ketchup of course!

    Love these, AND I love that I just got some gluten-free cornbread mix so I can make them for my own annoying wheat-free stomach! Can’t wait!

    Lol about the corn dog dorm story! I agree, life in the dorms was a pretty weird era in my life too. I would totally have sneaked these little corn dog muffins in though! ;)

    I’m pretty sure my toddler would devour these just as much as her parents.

    Oh these look delicious! Your corn dog story cracked me up – surely your roommate didn’t expect you never to eat meat just because she didn’t! I can’t wait to try these. Maybe I’ll make some with vegetarian “hot dogs” for my vegetarian sister as well. Everyone should get to eat corn dogs! :)

    Hahaha!!! Your stories crack me up!!! Too funny that is one of your only dorm room memories! My husbands favorite go to meal in college were corndogs; he always had a huge box of frozen ones in his freezer. Needless to say I will definitely be making him these soon!

    Your roommate story had me laughing haha! The funny part is that she probably would have been just fine with you eating one ;). Corn dogs definitely place somewhere in my top foods as well! So much better than boring hot dogs! Great recipes!

    You’re too funny Amanda! I’m afraid that I’m similarly neurotic – I try so hard not to be, but it’s tough. And I do love a good corn dog and you’ve made them approachable here as I hate to deep fry in my own kitchen. Don’t judge, but I love to dip mine in a 50/50 of ketchup and mustard. ;)

    I haven’t had a corn dog in ages but now I want one. Or maybe two. And some of these muffins, too.

    Ah, I like to think that I would have been like “I’m eating all of the meat” to the dorm roommate but I probably would have been just like you. I never stayed in a dorm – I didn’t go away to college because I didn’t want to room with people I didn’t know. So I ate all the corn dogs and meat-filled food I wanted to while I was in college! :)

    I would eat all of these!
    And you’re so weird about your roommate. hahahaha. I had a roommate that would eat of out the pot and then leave it on the sofa. she was not a good roommate. At least you were very considerate towards yours.
