Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans of golden hominy 15 ounces.
  • 2 cans of white hominy 15 ounces.
  • 1 cup of sour cream.
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • 1 can of chopped green chilies.
  • 1/2 cup of melted butter.
  • 1/2 cup of chopped green onions.
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • 1 cup of crushed butter crackers.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven

  • Turn your oven to 350 degrees. Let it get nice and hot. Grease your baking dish with butter.

Drain and rinse hominy

  • Open all four cans of hominy. Pour them into a colander. Rinse them well with cold water. Let the water drain out completely.

Mix the wet ingredients

  • Take your large mixing bowl. Add the sour cream and butter. Stir in the green chilies. Mix until the base is smooth.

Add the spices

  • Add salt and black pepper now. Sprinkle in the chili powder. This gives the dish a nice kick. Stir everything together very well.

Combine hominy and cheese

  • Fold the drained hominy into the bowl. Add half of the cheddar cheese. Mix it until the hominy is coated.

Transfer to the dish

  • Pour the mixture into the greased dish. Spread it out with your spoon. Make the top nice and even.

Add the toppings

  • Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Add the crushed crackers over the cheese. This adds a great crunch.

Bake the casserole

  • Place the dish in the oven. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. Wait until the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and serve

  • Take the dish out safely. Sprinkle fresh green onions on top. Let it sit for five minutes. Serve it warm to your guests.

Notes

  • Rinse the hominy well. This removes the canned liquid taste. It makes the dish taste very fresh.
  • Use full-fat sour cream. It makes the sauce much richer. Low-fat cream can be too thin.
  • Add extra green chilies. If you like spice, add more. It balances the heavy cheese well.
  • Try different cheeses. Pepper jack cheese adds great heat. Sharp cheddar gives the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake it. The cheese should melt and bubble. If you wait too long, it dries.
  • Crush crackers by hand. Large chunks give a better texture. Do not turn them into powder.
  • Let it rest first. Waiting five minutes helps it set. This makes serving much easier.
