I first posted this hominy casserole recipe November 24, 2009, and it remains my favorite casserole. So here’s the world’s greatest casserole just in time for the 2015 holiday season. All credit goes to my lovely wife Katy for coming up with it.
The holiday cooking season always begs the question: Turkey or Sides? I am a sides man. You can get about a million casserole variations at this time of the year: green bean, broccoli, squash, sweet potato, etc., etc., but a few years ago Katy started making a Hominy Casserole that, I guarantee, will be the most popular side at your holiday feast. Some of you non-southerners may not know what hominy is. Suffice to say it is a corn product, with a long heritage. It’s where grits comes from. Try this, and you won’t be able to go back to the standard casserole fare.
