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".

Thanks, Wayne.... but I can't use all that cheese, you know why. Can
I skimp and get away with it?

You're welcome, and yes, I understand. Certainly you can skimp on it, but
you do need some, especially on top. Why not try the low fat or fat-free
shredded cheeses? I don't know if they come in a Mexican blend, but
cheddar does and it would work well in this dish.

I was thinking that instead of doing layers, I'd just mix it all
together... with a little cheese, then scatter some cheese on top.

That'll work. It's very flexible, sf. Most of the time I do layers, but I
can remember a couple of times where for lack of time I just dumped it all
together. <g>

Barb, ever tried soy cheese?
One that I've tried in the past that is fairly decent is Soy Kaas brand.
It actually melts. :-)

That's good news! I'll look for it and mix it with real cheese.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, Om.

I've never posted that before, either on the Internet or Usenet, until last
night on rfc. As with most things, he makes things up.

You are most welcome! :-) I hope it works out as well for you as it did
for me... I still purchase it once in awhile.

Let me know how it works out please? :-)

I used to totally avoid dairy products (and probably should again as
they do actually raise my total Cholesterol but not triglycerides) so am
always interested in other brands. That particular one, at least to me,
was truly as close to real cheese as I ever got trying alternative
products.
