Steps:

• In a 5-6 quart pan over medium heat, combine onions and 1 tablespoon of the oil; stir often until onions are light golden and sweet to taste, about 20 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until liquid evaporates, about 10 more minutes; remove from pan, set aside.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan along with buffalo; stir frequently over high heat until meat is well browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
• Return onion mixture to pan along with tomatillos (break them up with a spoon) and their liquid; stir to free up the browned bits.
• Add hominy, corn, cilantro, oregano and chiles; bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend flavors.
• If you're making this ahead of when you'll serve it, let it cool at this point then cover and refrigerate until the next day.
• Reheat to serve and REMOVE and discard the HOT CHILES before serving, unless you like getting a'jolt'.
