Preparation

Step 1

Prepare corn bread batter according to package directions. Spread half the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute the green pepper, onion and celery in oil until crisp-tender. Stir in hot dogs; saute 3-4 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Stir in the chili, brown sugar, garlic powder and chili powder; heat through. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese. Spoon over prepared corn bread. Spread remaining batter onto hot dog mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
