Thanks to chili beans and jalapeño pepper cheese, cornmeal mush never tasted so good!

Sorry, but on the last review, I accidentally said 2 cups of cornmeal. It was actually only ONE.

Just made the polenta pie again, except with these changes: 2 cups of the cornmeal, same amount of water, no egg, mixed in 3 slices of American cheese and 7 splashes of hot sauce. plus 1 cup microwaved frozen white corn. Baked for 20 min., then topped with onion rings and garlic, sea salt and Italian seasonings and baked for another 15 min. Wowee, reminded me of old fashioned corn pudding (a recipe I cannot seem to find). Really out of this world. Thanks for idea

Just made the polenta pie. What a treat! Used a can of black beans instead of chili beans and left off the chips on top. Did use the pepper jack cheese and also sprinkled some sea salt and dried garlic over top before baking. Will definitely make again... I think would be very good next time maybe with some caramelized onion rings on the top or on the side. We'll see.. Think there are lots of fun variations on this one. Thanks
