I threw this quick and easy casserole together nearly 30 years ago and
still make it several times a year.

Hominy Casserole

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, 1/4" dice
1 green pepper, 1/4" dice
1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced
3/4 to 1 pound lean ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
2 16 oz. cans white or yellow hominy
2 16 oz. cans Mexican style diced tomatoes with green chilies
3 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

Sauté onion, green pepper, and jalapeño pepper in olive oil until onion is
transparent. Set aside.

Brown ground beef until no longer pink and liquid is evaporated. Mix taco
seasoning into ground beef. Add sautéed vegetables to beef mixture and
thoroughly combine.

In a greased 2-1/2 to 3 qt. casserole, layer ingredients in the following
order, making at least two layers of each... hominy, meat mixture, diced
tomatoes, shredded cheese, ending with a generous layer of cheese.

Bake uncovered in 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes, or until cheese is melted
and slightly browned, and mixture is bubbling. Allow to rest 15 minutes
before serving.

I usually serve this with a shredded lettuce salad and chunky guacamole.

NOTE: If you don't like using seasoning packets, make up your own "Mexican
Seasoning".
