Muffin Weenies

"Have not tried this yet, but it looks like something the kiddies would love. Make a cornmeal batter, stir in sliced hot dogs and bake in muffin tins. Very easy to do. Since I have not made these, I am guessing at how many it makes."

  1. I added 1c. of shredded old cheddar cheese on top. I poked the cheese down with my finger so half was below the surface. This made them moist. Next time I might add some mustard powder, and use onion salt instead of salt. They were really bland, which I thought my little kids might appreciate, but not the adults.
     
  2. My daughter loved these! I cheated and used corn muffin mix. I added cheese to mine and it was delicious! Thanks for the fun idea! Great for kids and quick and easy! Yummy too!
     
  3. My kids liked these alot. I agree that maybe a few more hot dogs would be good. I might try with a little cheese next time as well. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. My 7 year old made this - with help cutting. Very easy, fun & appealing to the younger set, although my DH and me will enjoy too! We used the Albers cornbread recipe on box & light hot dogs to save calories. My daughter added a bit of shredded cheddar on top and one sliced hot dog for decorations. Too fun!
     
  5. Very nice muffins, and a good snack for kids to enjoy after school. I added some cubed cheddar cheese to half my batter after I'd spooned my first 6 muffins into the muffin tin, and the 6 with the cheddar were tastier - only proving my theory that EVERYTHING tastes better with cheese on/in it! A definite 'do-again' recipe because it is easy-to-follow, quick, and kid-friendly.

  1. My two grade school-age daughters and husband really liked these. Good quick weeknight dinner. Its like a corn dog muffin. I used bologna instead of hot dogs as that was what I had on hand. I fried up 6 slices of bologna and cut in in little bits. I think frying made for a better flavor. The bologna bits mixed in quite well with the batter. It did make 12 cupcake-sized muffins. This recipe will make it into my dinner repertoire. Next time if I use hot dogs, I'll chop them up and quickly fry them first for flavor. Other than that, no changes needed. Thanks for posting!
