Cast Iron Pete's Pork and Hominy Stew

This delightfully easy to prepare one skillet dish is perfect for anytime. Just spicy enough without overpowering the tongue it combines a bit of corn flavor with melt in the mouth meat. Serve it up with some fresh baked cornbread and some extra hot sauce for a good old southern style plate.
