When I was a kid we ate lots of hominy. Nothing fancy, just heated up straight from the can. We loved it! This recipe is much tastier.

Hominy is one of those foods that has a pretty clear divide. You either like it or you don’t.

What is Hominy?

Hominy is basically corn. Hominy is the name of whole corn kernels, white or yellow, that have been cooked in an alkaline lime or lye solution to remove their thick outer hulls.

This results in a tender, bulbous kernel with a chewy texture and a nice ‘corn tortilla’ kind of flavor.

Ever eaten grits? We call them hominy grits in my family. Those are dried and coarsely ground hominy.

The popular snack food “Corn Nuts” is also hominy! It has been soaked, dried, and fried with seasoning.

Cans of hominy are easily found at most grocery stores, usually in the Hispanic foods aisle.

Can This Recipe Be Made in a Slow Cooker?

Yes. Just add te ingredients to the crock instead of a baking dish. Then cook on Low for 2 hours, or until heated through and the cheese has melted.

The steps to make Texas Hominy Casserole are easy. Here they are:

    This was even better than I hoped! I had not eaten hominy since I was a kid and wasn’t sure, but it was delicious!
