    I love dinners that can be made in the morning on busy days. This is a delicious recipe that can be placed in a crock pot and ready for dinner when you want it to be. It's amazing how much flavor comes from these simple ingredients. It's filling, full of fiber, and makes delicious leftovers too!

      I love this recipe, particularly because you are the only one who used hominy with the beans or suggested hominy which soaks up all the delicious flavor.
      Canned hominy is easily found.
      Keep posting!
