My entire family loves this recipe. A quick baked polenta topped with red sauce. Very easy to make and great the next day too (and the day after that!) Top with additional Parmesan cheese if you like.

2 cups milk
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup yellow cornmeal

2 cups spaghetti sauce, or your favorite recipe

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch square baking dish.

Pour the polenta into the prepared baking dish, and spread spaghetti sauce over the top.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until sauce is bubbling.
