Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 oz canned hominy
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 4 oz diced green chilies (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Drain the canned hominy and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, softened cream cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the drained hominy, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and diced green chilies (if using) into the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Transfer the hominy mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Optional: Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the top for added crunch.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to set.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving and enjoy!
