Chili Hominy Bake

Submitted by CindiJ

"This is an old family favorite I got from an old Better Homes & Gardens Ground Meat Cookbook. It's super easy and was great after working all day and having to feed 3 hungry growing boys. Now grown, they still request this dish. We like to serve with a salad and a pan of cornbread is a must! If you have a cast iron skillet - use it! No need to dirty another dish. Brown the meat per directions, add everything in and slide it into the oven."

My goodness, this was some mighty fine eating. I made the recipe for A Taste of Yellow in the Photo Forum and served it along with some cornbread and cabbage. The casserole was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Instead of using cheddar, I used a Mexican blend taco cheese on top. Delicious!
