Oh my goodness I really loved this recipe I made it used Monterey Jack cheese it was sooooo good and easy to make!! I even turned boiler to let it crisp on top!!! ❤️

I made this as is and was pretty disappointed because I like hominy. Unless you love the flavor of sour cream and don’t care for seasoning, I suggest (at least) the following changes: SALT! And pepper. I like more of a kick, so I vote for more cayenne and/or chiles. Also, dishes like this are always better topped with more cheese for visual and textural appeal. (I mean, it’s already not health food.) I also baked mine for 30-40 minutes to brown the top, and make sure it was bubbling well.

This was delicious & I will definitely make it again. Might use a little more cheese in the future. It didn’t freeze & reheat well, though.

I made this for a church potluck in the crockpot. I got rave reviews. I used a gallon of hominy and added 8oz cream cheese, I doubled the sour cream and green chiles. I did not like hominy before this recipe but the creaminess and cheeses make it irresistible!

Sometimes simplicity is best! I added a Panko topping and the crowd loved it as a side for Bar B que ribs.

I am gluten free and always looking for easy recipes. This was so easy & tastes great! I used 1 can white hominy & 1 bag frozen sweet corn, Turned out very good. Great side dish for any Mexican meal or just with meat of choice.

Delicious and easy! I made one modification – two cans of hominy, rather than three. Excellent side dish for a Mexican dinner of carnitas and black beans.
Jacob Jones
We love this. I made changes: used parboiled cubed potatoes for sub of half the hominy. Was delicious. Would serve it along side a platter of bbq chicken legs, wings, thighs, or breasts, too.

Needed to bake at 425, and 4-Cups of Cheese to be of any value or taste. To be be honest, it was really bad tasting!
Kenneth Young
Made 1/3 recipe (1 can hominy) with the sour cream and cheese proportionate to the one can. However, I added a full can of chopped green chili peppers plus a lot more cayenne and sauteed about 1/2 cup of onion (for a little more texture and flavor). Used a one quart casserole and baked it for 25 minutes until just lightly brown on top. Think it may be better tomorrow when flavors have a chance to meld more. It was very quick to pull together. Maybe next time I will add a chopped jalapeno pepper (sans seeds) or some chopped sweet red pepper and maybe sprinkle some more cheese over top during baking. It made enough for 3-4 people as a side dish or 2 as a main dish.

I would definitely make it again.

This is my goto potluck dish. The pan is licked clean every time. I’ve tried using more than 4oz of chiles but really you don’t need any more. And if your chile has kick to it (our does!) you don’t need the cayenne. My oven is preheating … making this for maybe the 5th time right now. Can’t wait!
Nicole Robles
i didn’t have the chilies but i liked it and will make it again just because i learned a new way to serve hominy… not great but interesting side
Susan Todd
I only used 2 cans of white hominy. I always drain and rinse hominy before cooking. I used Monterrey and Pepper Jack cheese mixture saving about half of cheese to put on top of casserole before baking. Served this with olive stuffed meatballs and zucchini potato bake. Yum

made this once without the red pepper and loved it, am going to double the recipe this weekend for a cribbage tournament.
Michael Cruz
This was my first Hominy experience. This was a fantastically easy recipe, and I absolutely loved spreading this on crusty bread. Perfect dip and super Yummy! Lots of flavor comes from the can of chilies 🙂
Matthew Chen
Yes I’ve tried it, but used Serrano peppers in it fantastic. Rev. Kenani Y. Gertner

My Granddaughter is allergic to gluten. She absolutely loves this recipe as does the entire family. Very good and very tasty! I make this recipe often!
Edward Riley
Made as written. My mom made this when I was a kid, too. Good side dish. Had it with pork in verde mole and ended up mixing it together since it complemented so well.
Michael Campbell
I’m not a huge fan of hominy, but this was pretty good.
