Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hominy

    In a medium saucepan, combine the hominy with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the milk mixture is simmering, gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Hominy

    Add the drained hominy to the cheese sauce and stir to coat the hominy evenly with the cheese sauce.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped green onions just before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or a comforting main.
