Most of us love hot dogs, if not all. These meaty favourites have practically taken over the world – from Sydney to Chicago, Germany to Japan and many other countries. You can see them in hot dog stands on the streets and in restaurants. Whenever you see them on a grill, it’s almost as if they’re calling you to grab a bite.

Hot dogs are usually served in a bun. But there are many other ways you can enjoy them. Here are 3 must-try recipes for the hot dog lover in you.

Hot Dog Cornbread Casserole

Have some left over hot dogs? No problem! This is the perfect recipe to try out.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

¾ cup milk

2 (250g) packs corn muffin mix

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

4-5 hot dogs, cut in 1cm slices (hot dogs can be grilled or fresh from the pack)

Procedure:

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Mix corn muffin mix, eggs, milk and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add the hot dogs.

Coat a 20cm square baking dish with choice of cooking spray. Pour in hot dog mixture.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. To determine if it’s cooked, you may insert a toothpick in the centre. If it comes out dry, then it’s good to go.

Allow it to cool, slice and enjoy.

Hot Dog Pizza
