I'm on a low sodium diet, so I can't use salt pork. I also am not about to cook something for 5 hours. So here is my quick solution, which I found quite tasty. Brown 1 pound of very lean ground hamburger in a large frying pan. Dump in 25 ounce can of Mexican style hominy and about a 1/4 of the can's juice. Dump in 2 standard cans of white low sodium kidney beans and about 1/4 of 1 can's juice. Stir. Transfer contents to microwave proof bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes. Serve servings (easily makes 4) with tablespoon of sweet relish on top. Yum!
