I have always been crazy about hominy and I have always been surprised by how many of my fellow Northerners have never heard of it. I grew up with it, even though none of my family is from the South. Any time I can prepare hominy in other ways besides just "out of the can," is a good time. Enjoy! Recipe: Cookscountry.com 07-31-15

  • 3
    Add the hominy, salt and pepper and cook until the hominy is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
  • 4
    Transfer the mixture to a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the top.
