Although corn dogs are pretty cheap in the store, I’m trying to make as many things as possible from scratch, so this recipe really is timely.

Ingredients:

• 8 hot dogs8 wooden craft sticks
• 1 package (about 16 ounces) refrigerated grand-size corn biscuits
• 1/3 cup French’s Classic Yellow Mustard
• 8 slices American cheese, cut in half

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Insert 1 wooden craft stick halfway into each hot dog; set aside.
2. Separate biscuits. On floured board, press or roll each biscuit into a 7×4 inch oval. Spread 2 teaspoons mustard lengthwise down center of each biscuit. Top each with 2 pieces of cheese. Place hot dog in center of biscuit. Fold top of dough over end of hot dog. Fold sides towards center enclosing hot dog. Pinch edges to seal.
3. Place corn dogs, seam-side down, on greased baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Make 8 servings

Tip: Corn dogs may be made without wooden craft sticks

I cook every meal. Except BBQ.  That is his domain. So, when we BBQ, I make sure we get a BUNCH of meals out of it.

Here’s what we typically make:

4-6 chicken breasts
4-6 hamburgers
8 hot dogs

I prep all of the food, so all he has to do is cook.  Which means, by the time dinner rolls around, all I have to do is EAT.

For the burgers, I make my own special concoction.  I combine any BBQ sauce (about 1/2 a bottle) with 2 tablespoons of honey, a tsp of minced onion and a few shakes of garlic powder.

Coat the bottom of a pan with the special sauce, place a burger in the pan, cover the burger with the sauce, place the next burger on top, etc. Then the burgers chill until he is ready to get cooking!

For the chicken – I place the breasts in a Ziploc bag with ANY marinade.  My favorites are the Lawrys – the Teriyaki, the Lemon Herb and the Garlic marinades are fantastic.  I dump 3/4 of the bottle in the bag, seal it and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.

Hot dogs – well, I don’t do anything extra special with them.

The food we make typically lasts at least 3 nights and often fills in for a few lunches too. That’s the bonus – multiple nights – no cooking!
