Ingredients:

- 1 cup sugar 🍬
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 🧁
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 cup milk 🥛
- 4 hot dogs 🌭

- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped 🌿
- 1/4 cup milk (additional) 🥛
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 🌟
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for a beautifully baked dish. -
-
Prepare the Cornmeal Batter:
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.In a separate bowl, crack the egg and whisk it with 1/2 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of oil until fully combined. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and well-blended.
-
Cook the Vegetables:
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped carrot, onion, green pepper, and celery. Cook these vegetables uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. -
Combine with Soup:
Stir in the soup and 3/4 cup of milk into the cooked vegetables. Mix in the prepared mustard and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, cut the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the mixture. -
Assemble the Bake:
Transfer the hot dog and veggie mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Dollop spoonfuls of the cornmeal batter evenly over the hot mixture. This will form a delicious, slightly crispy topping once baked. -
Bake to Perfection:
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. The bake is ready when the cornmeal topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Let the Hot Dog Veggie Bake cool slightly before serving. This hearty dish is perfect as a standalone meal or with a side salad. Enjoy the comforting flavors and delightful textures with every bite!
