Easy, fast, cheap and gluten free-you've got my attention! I used 'from scratch' polenta instead of the prepared type. I enjoyed the addition of paprika and added a bit more than a pinch once I tasted it. I used smoked paprika and it gave such a nice earthy flavour it was hard to stop at just a pinch. This is a wonderful compliment to baked chicken. Thank you keithahaney for sharing this recipe.
Read MoreToo much pepper. Maybe do like 1/4 or 1/2 tsp.

I have a son who will not eat mashed potatoes, so this was a creamy substitute that everyone could enjoy with meatloaf. To try and please everyone I added a 1/4 cup half and half, which was a good addition. Used Trader Joe's polenta with a potato masher. It was a quick and easy side dish. Will make again!
Love this easy dish! Has become a regular side dish with our smoked salmon.
Ok so I made this last night for dinner! What a Killer side dish! I put the cornmeal in the chicken stock, heated the milk till boiling, added the cornmeal mixture, lowered the heat and continually stirred. I added 5oz of cut-up white cheddar and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. I finished with a small pat of salted butter. I omitted the salt listed in the recipe because this dish was salty enough with the stock, cheeses and butter. This cooked up so quickly. It was so tasty I kept eating it and forgot to take a picture for you guys! hahahahaha??
I've never eaten or made polenta before, so I honestly didn't know what to expect. I was not disappointed by this recipe, I was surprised by how similar it was to mashed potatoes. I think the next time I make this recipe, I'll probably throw in more seasoning to kick up the flavor a notch.
It was okay just lumpy I'd recomend mashing the polenta while cooking or before. Also i didn't use paprika that to me is optional. I used a 24oz package so I did 2 cups of chicken broth to amount for the extra polenta.
This creamy cheesy polenta is so delicious and rich. It's savory. I served it with filet mignon. It was the perfect complementary flavor profile. I used low sodium chicken broth because that's what I had available, and it was amazing! I would never use regular chicken broth for this recipe, since it tasted perfect! I also used a lot of paprika, not a dash. I highly recommend that you make this recipe, even if you don't have a fancy meal planned. You may want to eat it all. Remember you have to use a potato masher to break down the cubed polenta after removing the polenta from the heat (I think that's not written in the recipe). Enjoy!
I used this easy recipe in place of a “scratch” version For a Parmesan Polenta Roasted Vegetable recipe. I also used vegetable broth in place of chicken brother to make it more vegetarian (not vegan, bc of the cheese!) I also added a tablespoon of butter. It worked wonderfully topped with the roasted zucchini, tomato, kale, peppers and onions!
