Tag Archives: recipies for cornbread

This week is VBS for my three-year old! While volunteering in the classrooms,  I volunteered to bring a dish for one of the nights for the volunteers.  Last night was my night and I made a recipe that I more or less made up with a little help from our local Trader Joe’s. 

Since the dish would appear non- descript, I decided to make a fun “calling card” for the dish.  Apparently the dish was a huge hit, and was gobbled up in no time flat.  So if you are looking for a fun and yummy dish to take to your next potluck, here is an idea!

Chili Corndog Bake

Ingredients:

• 1 Box of cornbread mix (follow the directions of the box to make)
• 2 packages of hotdogs (16 dogs) * I used turkey dogs
• 1 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.  You can substitute  jack cheese.  I like mine super cheesy that melts smooth and creamy so I use mozzarella.
• 3 cans of chili with beans of your choice. * I used turkey chili with beans.
• Diced red onions (optional)
• Diced jalapeno for garnish (optional)

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
• Grease a large casserole dish or aluminum throw-away bake and serve dish with oil spray.
• Empty contents of chili cans into the dish.
• Cut hot dogs in threes length wise and dice into small pieces and place in dish.
• Add 2 cups of shredded mozzarella or  jack cheese to dish.
• Combine all ingredients and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle top with 1 1/2 cup of shredded mild cheddar cheese.
• Follow the directions on cornbread box and make cornbread in a seperate bowl.
• Spread cornbread evenly onto chili mixture.
• Place in oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean.
