This is a super easy hominy casserole recipe. The hominy is simply cooked with cheese then broiled until browned.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups hominy (about one large can, or about 29 ounces)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup warmed milk

Steps to Make It

  1. In skillet combine hominy with water, salt, cheese, and butter.

  2. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until cheese and butter have melted.

  3. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly. Put under broiler to brown.

Glass Bakeware Warning

Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
