Below you will find three recipes created by McCord, including her Vegetarian Sheet Pan Nachos, Corn Dog Muffin Bites and Cheesy Pizza Hot Dogs.
Cheesy Pizza Hot Dogs
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1-pound whole wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
6 beef, turkey, or vegetarian hot dogs
3 pieces string cheese
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450F
- Divide the dough into 6 equal sized pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a long, thin rope about 4 times the length of the hot dog.
- Slice each piece of string cheese in half lengthwise. Slice each hot dog in half lengthwise, but make sure to not cut all the way through. Place 1 piece of cheese in between each sliced hot dog.
- Starting at one end of the hot dog, wind the pizza dough around the hot dog from one end to the other.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the dough is golden brown
Corn Dog Muffin Bites
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 14 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 veggie hot dogs, cut into 1/2-inch coins (you can also use turkey or beef)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, buttermilk, eggs and oil.
- Pour the dry cornmeal mixture into the wet ingredients and thoroughly combine with a whisk.*
- Grease muffin cups with cooking spray, softened butter or oil on a paper towel and then pour one tablespoon batter into greased mini muffin cups. I use two 24-cup mini muffins pans!
- Lay hot dog slices cut-side down in the center of each batter-filled muffin cup.
- Top with an additional tablespoon of batter.
- Bake until starting to turn golden, about 14 minutes.
- Add popsicle sticks after baked and serve.
* Boxed cornbread mix also works great in this recipe. Follow the directions of the boxed mix, prepare enough batter to yield at least 40 mini muffins and skip to step 5 to continue making the bites.
Vegetarian Sheet Pan Nachos

Directions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan on low to medium heat.
