1543. GREEN CHILI and BACON HOMINY (POSOLE)

serves 10-12


1 cup chopped onion, sauteed
4 15-ounce cans white hominy (drain and reserve)
1/2 cup hominy liquid
1 tablespoon juice from pickled jalapenos
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, grated
10 slices bacon, fried crisp and chopped (reserve drippings)
1 cup chopped green chiles
1-2 pickled jalapenos, seeded and chopped

Saute the onions in bacon drippings and put aside. Heat the hominy in a separate saute pan, stirring often. When heated thoroughly; add the hominy liquid and jalapeno juice, bring back to a high temperature and add 3/4 of the cheese. When the cheese melts, add half the peppers and bacon and all the onion. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese, bacon and peppers. Bake at 325 degrees until cheese on top melts, about 15 minutes. (40 minutes if refrigerated).
