You'll be eating plenty polenta with this as your go-to recipe. Cornmeal and butter with a touch of paprika and cayenne churns out a polenta that can be served warm and creamy or cooled in slices and browned.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper
6 cups boiling water
2 cups cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt

directions

Grease the crock pot with half of the melted butter.

Combine the remaining butter, paprika, cayenne, water, cornmeal, and salt in the crock pot. Stir well to combine.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or 2 hours on high, stirring occasionally.

Serve the polenta warm.

Or, spread the cooked polenta into a greased loaf pan and chill until set. When firm, cut into slices and brown in a skillet on both sides before serving.
