Tips For Deep-Fried Bacon Cheeseburger Corn Dogs
- Ensure the oil reaches the appropriate temperature prior to frying. If the oil is not hot enough the corn dogs can absorb too much oil and will likely become greasy.
- Use a thermometer to determine the oil temperature. It needs to be around 375°F for best results.
Substitutes and Variations
- Substitute the sharp cheddar cheese for pepper jack or mozzarella cheese for different flavor.
- For a spicier corn dog, add some chopped jalapenos to the beef mixture.
- Substitute the bacon with turkey bacon, and the sausage with turkey sausage, to make a lighter version of the recipe.
Make a Healthier Version
- Use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef
- Use low-fat cheese and turkey bacon.
- Instead of frying, bake the corn dogs in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by shaping the ground beef into small patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place a slice of cheddar cheese in the center of each patty and wrap it with a slice of bacon. Secure the bacon with a wooden skewer.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F. Dip each bacon-wrapped patty into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Carefully place the coated patties into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Remove the corn dogs from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
