Polenta makes an excellent side dish for any meal, especially when it’s filled with delicious ingredients like hearty Italian sausage and Sargento® Shredded Authentic Mexican Cheese. You can’t go wrong with this recipe’s smooth texture and robust flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup polenta, corn meal or grits (not quick cooking)
- 8 oz. breakfast sausage or Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled, cooked and drained (1-1/3 cups)
- 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Authentic Mexican Cheese, divided
Directions
- Combine broth and milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, 20 minutes or until polenta is tender and mixture is creamy and thickened. Stir in sausage and half the cheese.
- Immediately spread mixture into a greased 8 or 9-inch oven-proof baking dish; top with remaining cheese. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
