If you look over at the side bar on my blog, you will first see that it says "I am not a food snob." And this recipe right here proves it!!

First of all, I have to say that I was getting really good at scaling recipes down to 2 servings. I got tired of always having so many leftovers in the fridge. And now, it's dark at 5pm. I usually start making dinner at 5 pm. So now I am either stuck with making extra food so I can photograph the leftovers, or trying to make do with the horrible lighting. Oh, the trials of a food blogger!!

For some reason, as soon as I saw this recipe, I couldn't get it out of my head. I'm not ashamed to admit that I love a good hot dog, and a good corn dog as well. But this sounded so easy, I just had to try it. Corn dog flavor without having to get out the fryer? Of course I'd try it!

And I'm not ashamed to admit that I really liked this. Maybe it's the kid in me. (And I know kids would love this meal!!) You do get that taste of corn dogs all wrapped up in an easy casserole. Maybe it's not what you want to share at your next dinner party, but it sure is a kid and family friendly meal!
