Personal Notes:
***This recipe is for two pots .... If you want to make for a family of 5 only use 1 can of Hominy, 1/2 of all the meats and everything else. **Important: If you have left overs, make sure to reheat/boil the pot again and leave overnight to reheat in the morning the next day. If not just put in the fridge so that it will not go bad.***
