Cheesy Baked Polenta
- 3 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup stoneground cornmeal
- 2 cup shredded cheese ( i use a mexican blend or cheddar )
- Preheat oven to 400
- Combine milk, salt & butter in a saucepan over medium heat to a simmer.
- Slowly add cornmeal, whisking it heavily to avoid lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and stir constantly for about 10 minutes.
- In a greased loaf pan, add half of cornmeal mixture.
- Cover with one cup of cheese.
- Pour remaining cornmeal mixture on top & cover with other cup of cheese.
- Bake until cheese is a nice golden brown - about 25 minutes.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing & serving.
- I love this polenta served plain - but it's good with sour cream & salsa too.
- Polenta is easy to make & you can add just about anything you like to it - so go ahead and get crazy with it.
- And if you don't feel like baking it - you can chill it in a loaf plan till it's firm & pan fry slices with some butter - yum.
- Enjoy...xoxo...psychobetty
