Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can hominy, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can diced green chilis
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for baking the cheesy hominy casserole.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained hominy, sour cream, diced green chilis, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Spoon the hominy mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Smooth it out evenly with a spatula.
- Generously sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the top of the hominy mixture to create a crunchy crust for your baked hominy with cheese.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving; this helps it set.
- Optionally, top with freshly chopped herbs for added color and flavor.
- For a spicier kick, swap diced green chilis for jalapeños.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar for a sharper taste in your hominy cheese bake.
- Drain hominy thoroughly to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
