What kid doesn’t love corn dogs? What kid wouldn’t love making their own? Wouldn’t it be great to make your own corndogs at a fraction of the price while using up some of your food storage? Corndogs are SO expensive. This is so simple, tasty, and fun (not to mention CHEAP) that your kids will love to help you make them. Remember having your kids help in the kitchen is a great way to help them eat new foods. It also has versatility, you can make your cornbread batter from scratch or use it from a box (I stock up on Jiffy cornbread for an everyday emergency). Either way you are still using your food storage to make it and having fun with your kids at the same time. PERFECT!!
You’ll need a sandwich maker appliance (pictured below). If you don’t have one, you can check your local thrift store. I know I see at least one everytime I go or you can click HERE for one off Amazon. They are very handy and can make A LOT more than sandwiches, like muffins, cakes (we’ll talk about that later), regular cornbread, etc. in a jif and it doesn’t heat up your house!
All you need to do is make some cornbread batter. Cut hotdogs in half and then cut again lengthwise (so they are half the length and half the width). Fill wells half full of cornbread batter and place hotdog in the center. Cover hotdog with cornbread batter. Repeat until all the cooking wells are filled. Close and cook until your “ready” light turns on. This whole process will take about 6-8 minutes. Great for an everyday emergency, a fun lunch, as a snack, or just to get your kids to eat some of your food storage!
