Ingredients cheesy baked polenta

1 cup stoneground cornmeal
2 cup shredded cheese ( i use a mexican blend or cheddar )
how to make cheesy baked polenta
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
