Last month I made Pulled Pork Corn Dogs and after seeing how well those turned out I immediately started brainstorming ideas for other crazy corn dogs I could make in a similar fashion. Plus, I’d already invested $5 of my hard earned money in a sweet silicone popsicle mold
The process to make Macaroni and Cheese Corn Dogs was pretty much exactly the same as it was for the Pulled Pork Corn Dogs — Just make some homemade macaroni and cheese, pack it into the silicone mold, throw the mold into the freezer and then batter and deep fry the macaroni popsicles until golden brown! Now I just need to figure out a way to combine hot dogs, macaroni and cheese and corn dogs!
Oh, and you better believe that I dipped my corn dogs in ketchup, because ketchup combined with macaroni and cheese is amazing and you’ll never convince me it isn’t no matter how many times you tell me otherwise!
