Baked Hominy With Cheese Recipe

Indulge in a creamy, cheesy, and subtly spicy baked hominy casserole! This Midwestern comfort food, inspired by "Hollyhocks and Radishes," boasts a unique flavor profile that's both comforting and exciting. We've amped up the horseradish for a delightful kick, and while the original recipe calls for a richer cream and butter base (feel free to indulge!), our adapted version uses milk for a lighter twist. Perfect as a side dish or a light meal, this recipe is sure to become a new family favorite. Find hominy in the Mexican food aisle of your local supermarket.
