MINI SOUTHWESTERN CORN PUP MUFFINS WITH FIESTA DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat two 12 cup muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and oil. Stir until well blended, then gently stir in the cheese. Drop a smal spoonful of the batter into the bottom of each muffin cup. Place a piece of hot dog on top of this batter. Fill cups with enough additional batter to cover the hot dog pieces.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until muffins are lightly browned and spring back when lightly pressed. Cool slightly before removing from the muffin pans. Serve warm with the Fiesta Dipping Sauce.
• To make the Fiesta Dipping Sauce, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and taco seasoning mix until smooth. Serve immediately.

EASY SOUTHWESTERN CORN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Spray insides of muffin tins. (*I used my regular-sized one and got 8 nice-sized muffins.)
• In medium bowl, add corn muffin mix breaking up any large lumps.
• Add rest of ingredients and stir until everything is moistened but batter is still lumpy.
• Let rest 5 minutes.
• Use your 1/3 measuring cup as a scoop, and fill muffin tin cups 2/3 - 3/4 full.
• Pop into the oven and bake 15 - 20 minutes until golden and done inside. *My size (and oven) took 19 minutes.
• Let rest about 5 minutes or so. Then run a knife around edges and remove muffins to a baking rack to cool. Serve with butter and/or honey if desired. Store in airtight container.
• Great for breakfast or a snack, with a meal, or use for sliders!
