Hominy and bacon in a simmered milk gravy. A great accompaniment to eggs. An old old breakfast side dish served in logging camps and homes in the Pacific Northwest. My Grandmother, who was born in the late 1800s, told me her mother ate this as a child.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just onion and bell pepper. Experiment with other vegetables like corn, black beans, or zucchini.
  • Don't overcook the hominy: Hominy should be cooked until tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeƱos or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dish.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Hominy and bacon can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.

Hominy and bacon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover hominy. With its smoky bacon, tender hominy, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
