This comforting dish offers a delicious alternative to typical sides. Cracked hominy is simmered until tender in a slow cooker, then combined with a rich, cheesy sauce made from sharp cheddar, milk, and butter. The result is a wonderfully creamy and flavourful accompaniment that pairs beautifully with ham, bacon, or meatballs, making it ideal for serving large groups. Preparation is simple, relying on your slow cooker to do most of the work.
