Sautéed my vegetables and put them on top
So tasty. I would never have thought about using polenta in the air fryer. Simple recipe. Were really good as leftovers the next day too.
Delicious!
Wow! At last found a great recipe for polenta! I added crimini mushrooms, more olive oil, more garlic (2 cloves), and chopped red onion instead of green onion. Used Italian cheese mix and a little sharp cheddar. Simple and so delicious, we kept going for more. Will definitely make again.
I added thinly sliced zucchini and layered itand topped it with fresh basil. It was delicious!!
This is the first recipe I’ve found on here that was super tasty. I used English farmhouse cheddar we had on hand instead of Fontina and I added a full tablespoon of minced garlic. If I were to change anything, might add a bit more sauce, like 16 oz instead of 14. I used a mushroom marinara. Yum!
My husband and I loved this recipe. We added mushrooms and spinach. Wonderful!
Very good. Added mushrooms. Used red pepper, yellow onion, Italian blend cheese. What I had on hand…and needed to use. Had to add a bit more than 14 ounces sauce…probably because of the added veggies. I’ve made a similar casserole before. Honestly, next time I don’t think I will bother with multiple thin lasagna like layers. Easier to serve and eat with a medium thick slice of polenta with sauce over. Also…I had a 24 oz tube of ‘corn meal mush’ and didn’t think it tasted any different than the much pricier polenta. (Used 16 oz for this.) Found the mush at the store in the refrig section with bacon and sausage. My grandma used to make mush for breakfast. Fry crispy and smother in butter and maple syrup…yum!
Wonderful. Only change was using more marinara and more garlic. The combo of these three cheeses is what makes this so yummy
This is a recipe to be tweeked. Made it as written & all agreed it was gooid. I upped it by adding Italian pork sausage, red pepper flakes, & anything else Italian food consists of. Also used a can of Italian stewed tomato pured. Such a friendly recipe!
I made this for dinner tonight for my 3 boys (ages 7, 10 and 12) and they loved it!!!!! I will be making this time and time again!!!! This recipe was very easy on the pocket book….. I am a single mom and being able to stick to a budget is important to me. It was nice to fix something “fancy” that didn’t cost a fortune!!!!!
Simple and delicious. Instead of sauteeing peppers and onions, I just stirred my favorite spices into the sauce and used homemade polenta. We all enjoyed this!
This is a family favorite. Even my teen-age boys love this dish. It’s easy and delicious. In fact, I’m making it again tonight.
I’m so bummed! I did not pay attention to my jarred sauce and added 26 ounces instead of 14. It was way too soupy. Will have to try again. I swapped yellow onion instead of green onion and red pepper instead of green pepper. I know that I would prefer provolone over mozzarella. I used mozzarella because that is all I had. I think I would also do 1/2 fontina and 1/2 provolone. Super easy to do.
This was fabulous! I only made two layers, used a bit more sauce and all mozzarella cheese versus some fontina. My husband loved it. I think you could subsitute salsa for marinara sauce and cheddar cheese for mozzarella and this would be a great Mexican sidedish.
We loved this recipe. It was easy to make and tasted great. I added a half of a rotisserie chicken chopped up, used red instead of green peppers and did not have fontana cheese so I used a combination of mozzerella, chedder and jack. It is very good but very messy looking when you serve it!

I loved this dish My husband is a vegetarian and I made it for Thanksgiving (along with a pork loin for the meat eaters). I used frozen pepper and onion mix i also added extra garlic and doubled the whole recipe. In place of the fontina i used the italian mixed cheese and then I topped it with fresh sliced mozzerella. This was a huge hit It was all gone but there was pork left over…
My husband LOVES this.
I loved this recipe. I used Sun Dried tomato polenta, added some peas to the tomato sauce (I used a can of sauce and used my own spices). I didn’t have fotina, so I used a low fat italian blend. If done correctly this can be a low calorie dish. Turned out great and very versatile!
Good. I used Puttenesca sauce instead of marinara.
