How To Make Cornbread Casserole
1. Prep work: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200ºC) and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish (or similar size casserole dish) with nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside.
2. Make the cornbread batter: In a large bowl, combine the creamed corn, sweet corn, melted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, Jiffy corn muffin mix, chives, and half of the chopped hot dogs. Give everything a good mix until it fully combines and a batter forms.
3. Assemble the casserole: Pour the corn dog batter into the prepared baking dish and top it with the remaining hot dog pieces.
4. Bake and serve: Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes. You'll know it's done cooking when the center barely jiggles. Once the casserole is finished, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with additional chives and serve with baked beans or any sides you want. Enjoy!
Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Saute hot dogs until they're lightly browned before adding them to the casserole to get even more flavor out of them.
- Feel free to use any shredded cheese you want, like sharp cheddar cheese, American cheese, or even pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh corn instead of frozen corn if it's in season.
- Serve the finished casserole with sour cream, salsa, ketchup, mustard, or this Taco Bell nacho cheese sauce drizzled on top for more flavor.
How To Store Corn Dog Casserole
In the fridge: Store the leftover corn dog casserole in an airtight container or in the baking dish with a lid on it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
In the freezer: Allow the leftover casserole to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Put the casserole back in a baking dish and warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature. Let the frozen corn dog casserole thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating, or add some more reheating time.
