Disney Recipe: Stuffing Funnel Cake on Top of a HOT DOG?!

Do you want to be a more adventurous eater? Want to take your regular hot dog to the next level?

The Holiday Dinner Dog!

This seasonal hot dog from Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom might be a great way to test the waters and take yourself a bit more out of your comfort zone, while still serving up some classic flavors.

While the idea of a holiday hot dog might call to mind a frank covered in green and red icing with sprinkles (or maybe that’s just us!), the Holiday Dinner Dog is a little more unique! The chefs at the iconic eatery on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom have created a festive take on the backyard barbecue staple.

Casey’s all decked out for the holidays!

The ingredients in this dish are the perfect marriage of fair food and holiday eats: the hot dog and classic bun are paired with cranberry mustard, funnel cake stuffing, and cheese curds. The sweet and savory combo will make your taste buds do a little jig!

You can grab it at Casey’s Corner through December 31st for $12.99 (or $14.29 as a foot long). But if you won’t make it to the park in time, follow the recipe below to create it at home!

Recipe

  1. First, create the cranberry mustard. Combine the cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, and water in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Transfer your cranberry mustard to your refrigerator until you are ready to serve. If you want an authentic experience, fill a squeeze bottle with your new mustard!
  2. To create the savory funnel cake crisps begin by heating 2 inches of oil in a frying pan or Dutch oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine your milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking powder, salt, chicken bouillon powder, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, dried sage, and celery salt.
  5. Slowly stir your dry mixture into the milk mixture, and mix until smooth.
  6. Transfer this batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle. (If you have neither, you could try to put the batter in a gallon freezer bag and squeeze out all of the air before locking closed. Push the batter towards one of the bottom corners and twist the opposite upper corner, then snip the bottom corner to create a piping bag in a pinch!)
  7. Prepare a plate with paper towels to place your funnel cakes on after they are cooked.
  8. Carefully, squeeze half of the batter into the oil in a swirling motion to create the classic funnel cake shape.
  9. Let this cook for 1-2 minutes, then slowly flip with tongs. Allow this to cook for one more minute, then use the tongs to transfer the cooked funnel cake to your paper towel-covered plate to allow the excess oil to drain.
  10. Repeat this process with the second half of the batter.
  11. Once both funnel cakes have cooled for 5-10 minutes, cut them into 1-inch strips.
  12. Finally, cook your hot dogs following the instructions on the packaging. If you like your buns steamed or toasted, you can do that at this stage now.
  13. The last step is assembling your holiday dogs! Place a hot dog inside a bun, then drizzle your desired amount of cranberry mustard. Add some cheese curds and funnel cake strips, then finish off with a sprinkle of chicken bouillon powder.
