• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Dried sage
• 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the cornbread mix according to package instructions by combining the cornbread mix, 1 cup of milk, and 1 egg. Stir until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the cornbread batter into a greased baking dish and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked and crumbled sausage, followed by the dried sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the skillet mixture.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, sausage mixture, and sliced hot dogs. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and gently toss to moisten.

Step 9

Whisk the 2 lightly beaten eggs and fold them into the cornbread mixture to bind everything together.

Step 10

Transfer the mixture back to the greased baking dish and spread into an even layer.

Step 11

Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp.

Step 12

Allow the Corn Dog Dressing Bake to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this fun and flavorful dish with your favorite dipping sauces or as a unique side dish for your holiday table!
