Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups polenta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can diced green chilis
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Crumble the prepared polenta into a 9×9 casserole dish and gently press it down to create an even base.
  3. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake the polenta for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until thoroughly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Layer the seasoned ground beef on top of the baked polenta, spreading it evenly.
  6. Add the black beans and diced green chilis over the beef layer.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the assembled ingredients, covering them completely.
  8. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the Spicy Taco Polenta Bake cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use homemade or store-bought taco seasoning.
  • Substitute ground turkey or shredded chicken for ground beef.
  • Replace black beans with pinto beans or omit for a low-carb option.
  • For extra spice, use fresh jalapeños instead of green chilis.
