Corn Dog Dressing Bake

• 1 cup celery, chopped finely
• 1 large onions, chopped finely (my favorite!) or 1 cup of sliced green onion (my favorite!)
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 2 (2 lb) packages hot dogs
• 2 (8 1/2 ounce) packages cornbread mix (I love Jiffy Brand!)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
2. In a skillet, combine celery, onions and butter. Saute for 5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl.
3. Cut the hot dogs into fourths lengthwise. Then cut each hot dog strip into 4 pieces.
4. Pour hot dog pieces into the same skillet you used for the celery/onion mixture, saute hot dog pieces for 5 min or until lightly browned.
5. Add the browned hot dog pieces into the celery/onion mixture bowl.
6. In another large bowl, combine; eggs, milk, sugar, sage, and pepper.
7. Add 1/2 of the hot dog /celery mixture and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, into the milk mixture. Stir in the corn bread mix.
8. Spread the mixture into a 13x9 backing dish.
9. Top with the remaining half of the hot dog/celery mix. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
10. Bake, uncovered, at 400u0b0F for approx 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
11. Enjoy!
12. **If your kids are gonna freak at the sight of celery, leave it out and add a shake or two of celery salt.
13. Some of my kids like this with mustard or ketchup.
