INGREDIENTS

  • Polenta Base

    • 🌽 1 cup cornmeal
    • 🥛 3 cups skim milk
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Toppings

    • 🐄 5 ounces lean ground beef
    • 1 1/2 cup red chile sauce
    • 🧀 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend
    • 1 cup shredded lettuce
    • 2 tablespoons black olives
    • 2 tablespoons sour cream

STEPS

1

Combine cornmeal, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in olive oil, and spread onto a greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

2

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3

Bake the cooled polenta crust for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

4

Cook ground beef in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly (5 to 7 minutes). Add red chile sauce and simmer until thickened (about 10 minutes).

5

Top the polenta crust with the meat sauce and shredded cheese. Bake again in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted.

6

Garnish with shredded lettuce, black olives, sour cream, and additional shredded cheese as desired. Serve warm.
