In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sage, and black pepper. Add the cornbread mix and stir until just combined – be careful not to overmix. Gently fold the cornbread mixture into the remaining hot dog and vegetable mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Cheddar cheese. (5 minutes)
05 Step

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with the reserved hot dog mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. (35 minutes)
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cornbread batter.
Feel free to substitute your favorite type of cheese for the Cheddar, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
If you don't have fresh celery and green onions, you can use 1 teaspoon of celery seed and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder as a substitute.
To make this casserole ahead of time, assemble it up to the baking step, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Nov 18, 2024Next time, I might try using a sweeter cornbread mix for a more authentic corn dog taste.
