Using prepared polenta rolls saves time in the kitchen. If making your own polenta you will need to let it chill until completely firm and then cut into strips.

Directions

Step 1

In a nonstick skillet cook beef, shallot, garlic and chili powder breaking up with spoon over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir in salsa, water and parsley; set aside.
Step 2

Cut polenta into 3 inch (7.5 cm) strips that are 3/4 inch (2 cm) wide. In an 8 inch (1.5 L) square casserole dish toss them with oil, Italian seasoning and pepper to coat. Pour beef sauce over top and sprinkle with cheese.
Step 3

Bake in preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and polenta is hot.

Tips

Prepare the dish ahead and refrigerate so the next night you just have to come home and heat it up for dinner to be ready. Enjoy a crisp green salad alongside.
