I'm not a huge fan of polenta, but I thought this pie was pretty good. The flavors were nice and the polenta crust was interesting. I would definitely try it again.

I thought this pie was just okay. The flavors were nice, but the polenta crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of crust next time.

This pie was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.

This pie was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning in the filling.
