Blue-Ribbon Corn Dog Bake
Shared by Tiffani Schulte from Wyandotte, Michigan, this casserole is one your family is sure to request again and again!

1/3 c. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
1/2 T. butter, melted
3/4 c. milk
16-oz. pkg. hot dogs, sliced into
    bite-size pieces

In a small bowl, combine sugar and egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. Add cornmeal, butter and milk, stirring just to combine. Stir in hot dogs. Pour into a well-greased 8"x8" baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serves 6.
