Polenta Pizza image

When we had our restaurant, one of our specials on Thursday night was polenta and chicken. We always had polenta left over and Dad would complain about the waste. I came up with this idea and boy did it take off! Johnny would grill a slice of polenta on the grill and then add sausage, mushrooms, peppers, and onions and then top it with a little sauce and mozzarella.

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
1 slice prepared polenta, cut into 4x4-inch piece
¼ cup spaghetti sauce, or as needed

  • Heat olive oil on a griddle or large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, sausage, and mushrooms until sausage is fully cooked and onions are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from griddle.
