  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked.
  2. Stir in the chili seasoning mix and cook according to the package directions.

Making the Batter

Notes

Store any leftover corn dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For freezing, make sure they cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe bag, where they can be kept for up to two months. Reheat by baking in the oven at 375°F until heated through.
