A comforting casserole that combines the nostalgic flavors of corn dogs with a cheesy, crispy golden crust. Easy to make and perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or last-minute meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal (about 120g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup milk (240ml), whole or 2% (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60ml)
  • 1 cup canned sweet corn kernels (about 165g), drained
  • 2 cups cooked hot dogs or smoked sausage slices, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 170g)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (20g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, mustard powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk and vegetable oil.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined, leaving some lumps.
  5. Fold in the drained sweet corn kernels, chopped hot dogs, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top gently with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan evenly over the surface.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep it light and fluffy. Drain corn well to avoid soggy crust. Use sharp cheddar for best flavor. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Let casserole rest 10 minutes before slicing to set properly.
