Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup corn meal
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 15 oz can hominy, drained
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil. Stir in salt and corn meal. Remove from heat and whisk until smooth, about 1 – 2 minutes. Stir in cumin, pepper, hominy and 1 c. shredded cheese.
  • Transfer to a small casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for  about 15 minutes, until cheese is fully melted and the edges are just turning brown.
  • There are a few options here – if you like mushier, you can just serve it straight from the pan or if you’d like it to have a more “set” consistency, you can let it bake longer.
