Hominy Casserole

I made my menu last week, and this week when people's asked I've told them what was on it.  I had three people say "Hominy Casserole? What's that?"  My uneducated response was, it's in the corn family.  That's what I was told the first time I had hominy, many years back.  Right or wrong, that's what I thought it was.  After some of these people researched and I was mostly right.

Anyway, I got this recipe from Babycenter's Cooking For Your Family forum.  It had good reviews, it looked (god, I feel like this is starting to sound like a recording) easy enough.

Little did I know, this would be soooooooooooooooo good.  I mean, the three of us who had it tonight (Serena included) enjoyed it.  I am actually looking forward to leftovers.  And (start the recording again) this was super easy and perfect for a week night.
