Corndog Casserole

Second semester has officially started :( Maybe the truth will only dawn upon me when I step into the lecture theatre. In any case, this is the last-bake item before I start to drown myself in my immense readings and projects. Not that I will be going on a hiatus, but probably attempt lesser new dishes. Cheers :)

2 cups celery, sliced
1 cup onions, chopped
1 1/2 pounds (680g) hot dogs
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon sage
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
18 oz. (510g) cornbread mix
8 oz. (226.7g) shredded cheddar cheese

your ingredients

hot dog mixture

milk mixture

combining milk with hot dog mixture

before turning it into the oven

In a skillet, cook celery and onions until tender. Place in a mixing bowl; set aside. Cut hot dogs into quarters, then into thirds. Place in a skillet, cook until lightly brown. Fold into celery mixture; set aside. Reserve one cup mixture. In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, sage, and black pepper. Fold in hot dog mixture. Stir in cornbread mix. Add on and a half cups cheese. Spread mixture into a greased 3 quart dish. Top with the reserved hot dog mixture and cheese. Bake uncovered at 350F( 177 deg cel) until golden brown.

I'm not sure why the bread crumbs didnt turn out as wet and crispy as i wanted. Maybe it had to do with the milk and cheese. But for better reference, visit taste and tell
