Ingredients

• 30 oz canned hominy

• 2 green onions, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the canned hominy in a colander to remove excess brine.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced jalapeño (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 5

Add the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the drained hominy, ensuring it is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the hominy mixture to a greased 2-quart casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top in an even layer.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy your creamy hominy casserole!
