Oven-Baked Polenta with Squash and Cheddar
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup polenta
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup mashed butternut squash
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a 2-quart casserole dish and give it a good coating of cooking spray to prevent any food residue from sticking.
3
Now, fill the prepared dish with water and then add polenta and salt to it, mixing everything together.
4
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the polenta reaches a thickened consistency.
5
After removing the dish from the oven, stir in some cooked squash, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese.
6
Continue baking the dish in the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
7
Finally, let the dish rest for 10 minutes before it's ready to be served.
