- 2 cups polenta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can diced green chilis
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Crumble the prepared polenta into a 9×9 casserole dish and gently press it down to create an even base.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake the polenta for 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until thoroughly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Layer the seasoned ground beef on top of the baked polenta, spreading it evenly.
- Add the black beans and diced green chilis over the beef layer.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the assembled ingredients, covering them completely.
- Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

- For extra spice, use fresh jalapeños instead of green chilis.
