Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 ounces canned hominy (white or yellow, drained)
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to cool and drain. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Once the bacon has cooled, crumble it into small pieces and set it aside.
In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the onion turns soft and translucent.
Add the drained hominy to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the hominy is heated through.
Season the hominy mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet and mix it into the hominy and onions. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the Seminole Baconed Hominy to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy as a comforting side dish or light main course.
