A hearty and flavorful dish combining seasoned beef, hominy, and a medley of spices, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped celery, minced garlic, and diced onion to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the mild green chilies, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more chili powder for extra heat.
Mix in the hominy and cook until it absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
Ensure the hominy is well-drained before adding to avoid excess liquid.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
For a melted cheese topping, cover the dish for a minute before serving.
