I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much when I first saw this recipe: I thought it would be kid-friendly and easy, but wasn’t expecting it to be terribly tasty or sophisticated. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The funny thing is that this ACTUALLY TASTED a bit like tamales. It was sort of an upscale version of Frito Pie, but much better and it was ridiculously easy to whip up.
We served it with the leftover green beans from last night.
This was a big hit with all four of us. If I do it again, I might break up the polenta and make it into more of a “paste” so that I can spread it into two layers, rather than having the “rounds” of polenta, which made the dish a little difficult to cut/portion/serve.
