Hominy - Green Chile Casserole
"This simple tasty side dish is great for potlucks. So far three people who said they didn't like hominy have asked me for the recipe. Oops. Make that two people. The third person gets it made for her since she is married to me."

I absolutely love hominy. There are so many people that have never tried this type of corn before, and they are missing out on a great flavor. This is a wonderful dish, and we enjoyed eating it so much. I do use fresh-roasted chiles just because they have so much flavor (more than the canned ones). Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. -
This is so unbelieveable delicious - we just couldn't believe our tastebuds! I made this for dinner tonight to serve alongside our grilled chicken. There was a few gray areas for me about the measurements of the ingredients so I just wanted to clarify that I used two 15 ounce cans of hominy and one 4 ounce can of diced mild green chiles. I seasoned with about 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and the taste was really out of this world. It was rich and cheesy. My only comment about the finished product is that it was runny. I did drain the hominy and the chiles really well, too. Next time I might try adding a little rice or maybe even an egg as a binder. It did thicken a bit after it cooled, though. Great recipe! Oh - and if you do make this for a pot luck, I might suggest that you double the recipe. It made one 9" square casserole for me, I consider that about 6 servings. -
This is an excellent recipe. I love the Mexican flavor the green chili and cheese gives. I used Vlassic Roasted Red Peppers in a jar, and cut the peppers up for the recipe. They were great. Never thought hominy could taste this good. -
OKAY!If you haven't tried hominy, you must..it's the best! You don't know what you are missing.. Mark, this recipe is a winner!! Put a smile on my man's face.. And this will definitely be in my recipe file for 'often use'. MMMMMMMMMM -
Very good recipe! I had lost the one that was given to me years ago, and was glad to find this. Regarding can sizes: I used two 29-oz cans of hominy and one 4-oz can of green chilis (which I blended into the sour cream using a food processor, too fool a familiy member that doesn't want to see green things, but likes the flavor). I also added about 1/4 C diced raw bacon, which the version of this recipe I lost called for. Again, this is a very good recipe - thanks for sharing.

This was a terrific recipe, although I agree that the end product was a bit runny. Still deserves 5 stars because it was delicious and so easy you could memorize ingredients and directions for next time! I also suggest some sort of binder like egg (or flour, sauteed in a little butter first to remove floury taste) could thicken it a bit. Also, I used low fat yogurt instead of sour cream, low fat cheddar cheese and used diced fresh red pepper instead of canned (for a crisper consistency). Whatever, it still turned out great! I just can't understand all the antipathy toward hominy myself either, but someone might want to try this recipe using canned corn instead? Thanks Mark H.
