Creamy Chili Bean and Hominy Casserole Preparation

Note: Use canned diced tomatoes for this dish, if available. If using whole canned tomatoes, break up into pieces. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil a 2 quart casserole or spray with vegetable cooking spray. Spray a large nonstick or cast iron skillet with vegetable cooking spray. Add a teaspoon of canola oil and heat over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add the beans and hominy; stir to combine well. Cook briefly. Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce to skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Dissolve the cornstarch in the reserved liquid and add to the skillet. Add the chili powder to taste. Add salt and pepper; adjust seasonings. Mix well. Turn out into the prepared casserole dish. Bake, covered, for 25 – 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 10 – 15 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
