Gluten-Free CornDog Casserole

My grandchildren love corndogs, but they are not gluten-free and have awful ingredients.  This casserole is easy peasy and my grandchildren think it's better than the real thing; best of all everyone (excepting me) can eat it. I adapted it from a recipe on Just A Pinch.

 

Gluten-Free CornDog Casserole


1 package Hot Dogs, halved lengthwise & sliced (Trader Joe's Uncured Beef Hot Dogs)
2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded (sharp, pref. grassfed or organic white cheddar)
 - 
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups Milk
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
3 large Eggs
1/4 cup Oil 
 - 
        1 1/2 cups CornMeal (organic nonGMO yellow)
        1/3 cup Coconut Flour
        1 tablespoon Baking Powder
        1/2 teaspoon Salt (sea salt)
        1/4 cup Sugar (organic evaporated cane juice)

Chorizo Quinoa Con Huevos

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” 
C.S. Lewis
