Cheesy Jalapeno Corn Dog Taco Boats
This recipe is sponsored by Old El Paso
The flavor of corn dogs is the flavor of summertime, baseball, and state fairs. Unfortunately making corn dogs in your kitchen can be a big smelly mess. This recipe lets you keep the flavors without all the work. I love jalapeno, honey, and cheese in my cornbread, so you know I added lots of those. Because this was a hot dog, I also spiked it with mustard. The bread itself was perfectly sweet and spicy and balanced great with the savory hot dogs. Make these for a cookout or baseball game and all your friends will ask you for the recipe!
Cut the jalapenos and grate the cheese.
Mix everything in a big bowl. This corn muffin mix also has honey to balance the jalapenos, and mustard to pair with the hot dogs.
Fill them up and get them into the oven.
When they come out of the oven, put plenty of butter, jalapenos, and honey on top.
These are unbelievable. The subtle honey and mustard in the mix really helps the cornbread pair perfectly with the hot dogs. The jalapeno gives it a nice kick.
A great new way to serve hot dogs.
And don’t skimp on the honey.

Hi stranger. I want hotdogs. Please host a grilling party soon.
Made this without the jalapenos, so freaking good and very easy. My end result wasn’t as beautiful as yours, but damn these are tasty.
Can you use corn tortillas?
I am making the recipe and I don’t see an oven temperature? I am assuming it 375 or 400?
This may have disappeared when I updated my website. It’s 400, and I am adding it to the instructions now. Thank you!!
