Ingredients

• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 1 package (approximately 8.5 oz) cornbread mix
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 pieces jalapeños, finely diced
• 0.75 cup canned corn kernels, drained
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a thin layer of butter.

Step 2

Cut the hot dogs into 1-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, milk, egg, melted butter, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, corn kernels, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Pour half of the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Arrange the sliced hot dogs evenly across the batter layer.

Step 7

Pour the remaining cornbread batter over the hot dogs, spreading it to cover them completely. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Garnish with extra jalapeño slices, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Enjoy!
