Mexican Polenta Casserole
Options
Made something new tonight, a Mexican Polenta Casserole! layers of polenta, cheese, salsa, and refried beans. Try it out! it was Delicious! I entered it all in the recipe builder, makes 8 servings - 268 calories per serving.
1 "tube" of polenta (cut into thin slices)
1 can whole kernel corn - drained
1 can fat free refried beans
1 can diced tomatoes with jalapenos - drained
1 cup Salsa - your favorite brand
2 cups extra sharp shredded cheddar
Garlic/salt/pepper to taste (cumin & chili powder might be good in this too)
1 serving tortilla chips
Spray casserole pan (11"x7")
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Start with a layer of salsa & tomatoes
then a layer of polenta
add some spices (garlic/salt/pepper) to the top of the polenta to taste
then a layer of refried beans (get a little messy and use your hands to spread it out)
layer of corn
layer of cheese
Now repeat these layers on more time, pat it down a bit, and crumble the tortilla chips on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, let stand for 5 minutes, cut, serve, & eat!
