Hominy Among Friends 
NOBODY, and I mean, NOBODY! has made hominy taste this AWESOME!
Hot or cold, this arrangement of hominy, green chilies, cilantro and tomatoes with chipotle peppers is very hard to stop eating. I read through so MANY hominy recipes that all seemed to be lacking in color and bright flavors. So, I went off on my own and put what I wanted to taste around the hominy AND I won my husband over to hominy! WOOHOO!
If you have the time, make this ahead, such as that morning or the day before serving. By day three, it's awesome cold! I totally see this recipe as a substitution for potato salad at a potluck luncheon or dinner.
HERE'S ALL IT TAKES
- 1 (36 ounce) can hominy, drained well
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped, mild green chilies
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes with chipotle peppers
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
- 3/4 cup light sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- shredded cheddar cheese, just enough to add color on top
Heat oven to 350ºF degrees.
Mix all the ingredients together, EXCEPT cheddar cheese, in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into an 8 inch x 8 inch pan. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, just enough for color. There's a lot of flavors in this dish, we don't want to smother them with cheese.
BAKE 25-30 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Allow to cool a bit before serving.
NOTE: When this first comes out of the oven, it will have a little liquid on the bottom. HOWEVER, if it has been allowed to sit in the refrigerator until the next day, the liquid is reabsorbed and will have a potato salad texture slash creaminess.
It reheats beautifully in the microwave at 80% power or eat it cold or room temperature. I eaten this all 5 ways,
- Fresh out of the oven
- Leftover hot
- Leftover cold out the frig
- Leftover room temperature
- Day three, eating what's left out of a cold pan
and this dish just kept getting better and better!
How long should I wait before I can make this again?
I’m already craving it.
GASP! I’ve never had hominy in any other form but just plain old hominy. This looks fantastic!
I could eat it plain, no problem, but not everyone can. I wanted to have hominy, but knew I would have to make it differently for others to find it appealing.
Charlie’s hooked now!
This looks and sounds wonderful. I must try it as son (19) asked “what is hominey” while at the store just last week! I remember eating it as a child and guess I have not given son that opportunity!
Looks great Jill! I haven’t tasted hominy because it always looked rather bland. This recipe changes that!!!
This looks like another good one except I’m not thrilled with sour cream maybe I could tone it down with some cr of chicken soup. What do you think? I like a potato dish made with soup, sour cream and cheddar cheese. Yep I think I’M TALKING MY SELF into it. Darn nails they must be getting too long again I keep hitting the caps key. Oh well we gotta take the good with the bad.
HAPPPY NEW YEAR!
This sounds so good. I love my Mom's recipe of a good pork sausage browned and a can of hominy and chicken pozole soup so now I have something new to try!
Good morning Mary!
Do you have the recipe for Chicken Pozole Soup?
I've never heard of it. I'd love to look it over. Is it
a simple soup other SDR readers would want to try?
I'm also interested in your Mom's hominy recipe with sausage.
See if she'll share it with the rest of us.
HOMINY AND SAUSAGE
! # Bob Evans Sausage (or Jimmy Dean
1 Large Can of Hominy
Brown the Sausage, then add the drained hominy.
I have sauted onions and green peppers but it is good just plain
Chicken Pozole Soup
3-4 Cups of cooked cubed or shredded chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic cloves, minced
2 ( 14 oz. ) cans hominy, drain and rinse
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
½ teaspoon Oregano
1 (4 0z.) can green chilies
4 Cups Chicken Broth
2 T. fresh lime juice w/ a little zest.
A handful of cilantro thrown in at the end
Sauté onion in sprayed pot , adding garlic in last few seconds then add spices and remaining ingredients.
Serve with lime wedges, shredded cabbage, shredded cheese, sour cream, shredded radishes , taco chips hot sauce, chopped onion and cilantro to be added as desired
Lime and cilantro are a must and sometimes I like cheese, onion and chips
How long to simmer once all the ingredients are together?
It is really ready in minutes. Everything is already cooked so I give it maybe 10 minutes to mellow in the spices. Some might like it to cook longer but I think it is better fresh made instead of a long simmer.
Sweet! I can dig it. Thank you for sharing. I'm very interested in making your soup.
If anyone happens to beat me to the punch, er soup, please don't hesitate to speak up. I'm a couple of weeks ahead on recipes, so it maybe next week before I make this.
