Hominy beef bake is a classic Mexican recipe that combines traditional Tex-Mex ingredients such as ground beef, chili and hominy. Hominy is a type of corn that has been dried, treated with an alkaline substance like lye, and hulled. The treatment gives hominy a distinctive flavor, and it can be used in soups, stews, or casseroles. This dish is loved by many for its mouth-watering taste, filling and satisfying texture, and the ease with which it can be prepared. The use of canned chili with beans and tomato sauce makes it easy to prepare, and saves time when you’re in a hurry.

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground chuck, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and crumbled.
3.Add drained hominy, chili with beans, tomato sauce, water, and chili powder. Stir thoroughly.
