This recipe for Corn Dog Muffins turned out to be a fun recipe to make. And to top it off, the kids absolutely LOVED eating them! Instead of buying frozen corn dogs, or mini frozen corn dogs, a mini muffin tin was used to make this deliciously fun dinner idea.

Corn bread can be made into muffins, bread and baked and broken up into pieces to go along with stuffing. Corn bread stuffing is AMAZING by the way. My mother-in-law makes the BEST when we go for visits. She shreds chicken and adds it to traditional stuffing. I have tried to replicate it, but hers is just hands down the best.

Maybe one day I can replicate the recipe and share it here. Stay tuned for that recipe sometime!

ALDI products are without artificial dyes and flavors.
