Kid APPROVED! (and adults too!)

So yesterday was the big Super Bowl game...who played? :) Just kidding, but for me it was what was on the coffee table for snacks?! 
So yes, I too am a Pinterest addict...I think I'm starting to repin things I have already pinned, but I'm sure I am not the only one doing that!  I saw on Pinterest Baked MiniCorndog bites.  I LOVE corndogs but don't like to deal with the mess of oil and frying.  Solution?  Baking.  The recipe calls for an 8.5 oz box of cornbread mix, but instead I used my homemade Sweet Cornbread recipe which is ingredients I have on hand, I filled a greased minicupcake pan (thank you Pampered Chef) halfway with the cornbread mix, and then cut the hotdogs to just fit the height of each cup, pressed them into the cornbread mix and baked at 375 for 10-12 minutes...EASY!!  Here is my cornbread recipe:

1 c flour
1 c cornmeal
2/3 c sugar
3 1/2 t baking powder
1 egg
1 c mil
1/3 c vegetable oil

Mix dry ingredients first then add wet ingredients, mix well.  If you want to make these as a cornbread by itself because the recipe is SO good, place batter in a greased dish that is either a 9" round pan, an 8x8 glass dish, etc, and bake at 375 for 20-25 mins or until baked all the way through.

P.S. I would add a picture, but Google is not allowing me to upload it clearly!
