Notes
Casserole may be assembled the night before, covered and chilled overnight, and baked the next morning. If cold, additional bake time may be required.Casserole may be prepped ahead, covered airtight, and frozen until ready to bake. If baking from frozen: bake 30 minutes covered with foil, followed by 30 minutes uncovered (or until top is bubbly)Mild ground sausage may be used if you don't want any heat, but Mexican chorizo is highly recommended for a flavorful kick. If you can't find chorizo, use any spicy ground sausage. If you can't find hominy, you can substitute with more black beans or use sweet yellow corn kernels.
