HOMINY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan.
• In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the bacon fat, cook the onion and pepper until just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the hominy, half-and-half and hot sauce. When the mixture is bubbling, turn off the heat and stir in the bacon and some of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack, reserving some of the cheese for later. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and more hot sauce if needed.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with the remaining cheese and the breadcrumbs. Bake until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

MEXI HOMINY

• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together hominy, tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, and garlic. Cook about 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Remove from heat, divide into bowls, and top with cheese.

SOUTHWESTERN HOMINY

• Boil vigorously for 30 minutes.
• Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Rinse off lye with several hot water rinses.

• Add water and cook until kernels are soft (30 to 45 minutes) and drain; saving this hot water you drain off.
• Pack hominy into sterile jars about 1/2 full.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart jar.
• Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of jar with water in which the corn was last cooked in or boiling water.
