Ingredients

6 servings

  • 0.75 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 0.25 cup shredded fontina cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 0.25 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) tube ready-made polenta, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square casserole dish. Mix together provolone and fontina cheeses in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in bell pepper, green onions, and garlic; cook until pepper softens, about 3 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the polenta slices in the dish, top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture, and spread a thin layer of sauce over the cheese. Repeat layers twice more. Top casserole with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
