This recipe has been tempting me since I read it so I decided to put together a lowfat version - it is in the oven right now. Basically I just substituted fat free and low fat products for the butter, milk, cheese and hotdogs and doubled the veggies

It smells fabulous!!

edit: it *tasted* fabulous also!! I will have to make this for my grandkids!

sirrahbed-You need to post that lo fat recipe for all us "watching our fat" eaters... I am not eating it anymore since I am trying to cut out the fats.... What brands did you use?

Just finished eating the Corndog casserole for dinner. Was pretty good. I made it without celery, and used shallots instead of green onions. And also, I only made a half recipe (Only two of us to eat it.) We ate it with ketchup drizzled on top. I'd make it again, only next time, I'd cut the hot dogs into even smaller chunks.

Reminds me of the cornbread I always ate growing up. We always made it with corn in it. I'd eat slices of it by itself, slighty warmed in the microwave. =)

What a neat thread. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Do you think I could halve the recipe?

I halved it and it turned out just fine! =)

I made the corn dog casserole for a recent dinner that was all PetTalk people. It was great and a hit!

A funny story with it though. I thought to make it a little more interesting I would use smoked suasage instead of hot dogs. My husband - who had not seen the recipe -- suggested next time I make it I should use hot dogs instead of the smoked sausage!

The moral of the story...stick with the recipe!

Thanks Laura!

Excuse me while I laugh my butt off.... Did you ever tell your hubby you changed the recipe? Did he suggest the hot dogs because he recognized the corndog taste or what?
