Chili Corn Dog Casserole #Blogtober

 Hearty Chili is topped with Hot Dog studded Corn Bread, for an out of this world casserole the kids will LOVE!



Boy it's getting cold fast!  Today is suppose to warm up but with Fall, you just never know. When it's cold outside, it makes me crave hearty comforting foods. The other night I mentioned to my SO, that I was craving some chili and that I thought I would make it again, to see if maybe the kids would eat it now. My daughter had mentioned that she was craving corn dogs, which gave me an idea about combining the two. I mean, what goes better with chili, than corn bread?


So, I decided to mix some chopped hot dogs, into my cornbread batter, like with corn dog muffins. For the chili, a wanted it nice and thick, so it wouldn't make the corn dog crust soggy. The smell of this cooking was amazing! I loved the contrast of the sweet buttery cornbread, with the smoky salty hot dogs and spicy chili. The kids really loved this, which surprised me because chili has never been something they liked to eat, and I must say, just like regular chili, it was better the next day. It reheats wonderfully and topped with sour cream, cheese and green chiles, it's an amazing meal, perfect for a cold fall or winter night.




Chili Corn Dog Casserole



1 lb lean ground beef

2 cloves garlic

1 small onion chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

1 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper powder

1 Tbs chili powder

1 tsp cumin

salt and pepper to taste

2 C tomato juice (or 1- 14oz can diced tomatoes)

1- 14oz can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed


Corn Dog Crust

1 C yellow cornmeal

1/2 C flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tbs baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2- 3/4 C buttermilk

1 large egg, lightly whisked

5 Tbs butter, melted, cooled slightly

4 hot dogs, chopped


In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium high heat. Once no longer pink, add in the onion, garlic and red pepper. Season with chipotle pepper powder, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent. Add in tomato juice and beans and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until reduced and thick. Pour chili into a 9x9 inch casserole dish and set aside.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


In a bowl combine the corn meal, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add in the egg, buttermilk and melted butter and stir until well combined. Stir in the chopped hot dogs. Spread mixture evenly over chili in the casserole dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes; until corn bread is set in the centre. Let rest 10 minutes, before serving.

      It's so good! I fell in love with cornbread while living in TN and have always loved corn dogs, so.... I had to pair the two with chili!

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
