hot hominy

This will be the first post of several related to Thanksgiving food traditions. It should also be noted that families are strange. The family holiday traditions that you grew up with are perfectly normal--until you interact with any family other than your own at a holiday. So, I'm going to post about some of the Thanksgiving menu items that are particular to the family I grew up in--I have no idea if they are normal (meaning I'm pretty sure they are not).

First, hot hominy: that's what we call it. It is hominy casserole--essentially hominy in a spicy cheese sauce and baked. If prepared properly, younger children and in-laws will not be able to tolerate the heat, however, most family members will wonder aloud (do family members ever do anything that is not aloud?) why it seems to be so mild this time.

You're on your own for finding a recipe--however, check this space because my sister may want to comment with the recipe.
