MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS RECIPE
For those who may not know, a corn dog is a hotdog skewered on a stick, dipped in cornbread batter and fried to a golden brown.
Delicious with fries or onions rings.
Since cornbread is my thing, I decided to try something different. Added chopped onions and hotdogs to cornbread batter… and bake it in a skillet.
Excellent results! Delighted to share the recipe with you.
If desired, chop the hotdogs into smaller pieces. As you can tell in the photos, I used medium size chunks.
THE HOTDOGS
Use beef, chicken or turkey hotdogs. I used beef.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Corn Dog Wedges are good with coleslaw, potato chips, fries, and potato salad.
