Hominy Sasserole

I have NO idea how or when Brandon originally came across this recipe, but he suddenly noticed it again the other day and decided he had to make it. He Biggified it just a teeny bit, replacing the chorizo with some smoked sausage, and adding zucchini. He also used a cheddar/jack mixture on the cheese. The result was sheer perfection. It is no exaggeration to say this meal was incredible. Brandon kept goading me the whole time I was eating to admit that it's better than Tater Tot Casserole (NEVER) and was quite amused that I was practically licking my plate clean when he was barely halfway done with his. I'm not going to start to compare the two delectable casseroles, but I will definitely recommend this dish to anyone. The prep was simple (the most time consuming was chopping the veg) and it didn't take terribly long to cook. The peppers and the creaminess really play off of each other beautifully, and Brandon was impressed with the interesting depth the cumin added.

Here we have the hominy getting good and sauteed...

The Texan cooked this in a skillet, and while Brandon has skillets he decided to use his precious dutch oven instead. The veggies, hominy, and sausage have been prepped and are ready.

Ready for what? Why, cheese and sour cream, of course!

Once everything has been mixed together, the rest of the cheese is layered on top.

Bake until the cheese is bubbly and crusty!


Soooooooooooooooooooooo good and savory.
