Hominy and Sausage Casserole is an easy, cheesy breakfast or supper bake. This hearty and nutritious comfort food can be made ahead too.
If I’m being totally honest, I’d tell you I’ve made this Hominy and Sausage Casserole twice in the last week! No joke…once for dinner and two days later for supper. Making it twice might tell you that this is now a family fav? and amazingly simple to make? but you really should see for yourself.
With fiber rich hominy, melting cheese and protein, it’s an easy, hearty and super tasty dish you’ll want to make over and over again.
How To Make A Hominy and Sausage Casserole
Talk about the perfect brunch recipe! It’s simply delicious and takes just minutes to prep. Just brown your sausage, stir in a bowl with cheese and a can of drained hominy….then pour over the egg mixture and bake. You can even prep everything up to a day in advance then bake it just before you’re ready to serve.
Ingredients needed for this recipe
- Bulk Sausage – we love mild sausage for this recipe, but have also tried the very tasty hot and spicy variety.
- Hominy – simply put – it’s corn, that’s been processed to puff up. With the texture of beans, and the taste of potatoes and corn, this underused vegetable is amazing added into casseroles.
- Cheddar Cheese – for flavor and smooth texture, use pre-shredded or shred your own from a block. Monterey Jack is a great alternative.
- Eggs – we used large eggs for this recipe.
- Butter – unsalted butter is what we buy. That let’s the cook control the salt!
- Paprika – for earthy flavor that pairs deliciously with sausage and eggs.
- Black Pepper – for subtle heat and flavor.
What is Hominy?
Hominy is maize or field corn that has undergone a chemical process. It’s mainly soaking the kernels in an alkali solution, that removes the hull of the corn allowing it to puff up to twice it’s normal size. It’s popular in Mexican cooking like casseroles and soups.
This recipe is made in a few steps. First brown the sausage and drain. Add the sausage, cheese and hominy to a big bowl.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, spices and butter, Pour into the sausage mixture and stir until everything is combined evenly. Then pour the casserole mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. We love these glass baking pans with handles and lids!
Next sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake to crispy cheese and tender egg perfection.
