Baked Polenta-Beef Casserole image

This is an easy casserole kind of dish that I came up with. Wanted something hearty and low maintenance. I make the polenta myself so no need to run to the store for a tube of it. Almost all of the ingredients are found in my cabinet.Hope you like this as well as my family does. I have made this so many different ways so try the original then play with it. I know I have and comes out great most times.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cold water
⅓ cup yellow cornmeal
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded American cheese
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped cooked beef
1 (12 ounce) can whole kernel corn with sweet peppers, drained
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
¼ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Stir together water, cornmeal, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until combined. Cook, uncovered, stirring every minute until water begins to boil and mixture is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in American cheese and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour. Add cooked beef, corn, tomatoes and their juices, and oregano. Cook, uncovered, stirring every minute until mixture is bubbly and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour into a casserole dish. Spoon polenta-cheese mixture on top.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until polenta is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand, uncovered, for 5 minutes before serving.

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

The polenta was a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would cook it for a little less time next time.

This casserole was easy to make and very flavorful. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The polenta was creamy and the beef was tender. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal.
