Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins – only 4 ingredients! Cheesy cornbread muffins with sliced hot dogs in the center. Even the pickiest eaters love these!
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!
Make sure you follow me around the internet!
- 1 8.5 ounce box corn muffin mix
- 1 egg
- 1 10 3/4 ounce can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 4 hot dogs cut into thirds
-
Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with baking spray.
-
Beat the corn muffin mix, egg, and cheddar cheese soup until almost no lumps remain. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter into each muffin cup. Top with a piece of hot dog.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing.
-
Serve hot.

LOL!! Did you ever tell her about your carnivore self??? hahaha
These muffins are such an awesome idea. I think I may love them more than the kids!
heather @french press says
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
Paula says
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?)
Dionne Baldwin says
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!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
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!
Dayna Kellam says
Maybe Little Smokes instead of,hot dogs? Either way, I’ll probably eat too many !

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! ;)
Meagan @ A Zesty Bite says
I’m pretty sure my toddler would devour these just as much as her parents.
Emily Bites says
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! :)
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts says
Oh college….Gotta love dorm life.
I have not had a good corn dog in far too long. Going to have to make these, my 9 year old would love them too!
Chelsea says
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!

Ha, ha!! I love funny college stories and that one was hilarious!! These corn dog muffins are a great idea. My kids would love them!! :)
Amanda says
So fun!!!
Des @ Life's Ambrosia says
I seriously don’t eat corn dogs nearly enough. I am loving these and need to make them ASAP.
[email protected] Apple of My Eye says
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!
Marissa says
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. ;)

You’re too funny!! ;) And I can’t even tell you how much my kids would adore these muffins!!

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! :)
nicole @ I am a Honey Bee says
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.
