A Pinterest recipe calling for hot dog bits in cornbread sounded a little questionable, but we decided to give it a shot anyway. While these muffins are certainly no match for a real deep fried corn dog on a stick, they still stand their ground when it comes to satisfying those junk food cravings. They’re also healthier, cheaper and faster. Mix up the flavors by using some Top Dog hot dogs like the Garlic Frank or the Hot Link.

5. Press a hot dog piece into center of each muffin. Don’t worry if they awkwardly stick out; muffins will rise as they bake.
