Time 2h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 cups hot water
2 cups polenta (not quick-cooking) or 2 cups coarse-ground yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)

Steps:

  • Mix water, polenta, olive oil, salt and pepper in slow cooker; whisk until well blended. Add cheddar cheese and whisk again.
  • Cover and cook on high setting for about 2 hours, or until liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir together well (polenta should have consistency of thick cooked cereal).
  • If not serving right away, pour onto buttered baking sheet with sides, spreading into an even layer; cover with plastic wrap and let cool. When ready to serve, cut into rectangles and sauté in nonstick skillet with olive oil until golden on both sides.
