Hominy Sausage Bake

Taste of Home

My cousin Lewis whipped up this spicy corn dish for a family gathering one year. It's nice and hearty, and it has plenty of Cajun flavor running through it. —Frances Bowman Lilesville, North Carolina

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 40 min. Bake: 35 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) red beans and rice mix
  • 6 cups water
