ingredients
5 slices bacon
1/3 cup onion
2 cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup polenta
directions
In 2- to 3-quart pan over medium heat, cook chopped bacon, stirring until lightly browned. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic.
Cook, stirring, until onion is limp and bacon is well browned.
Discard all but 1 tablespoon of drippings from pan. Add 1 1/2 cups broth; bring to boil over high heat. In small bowl, mix polenta (or yellow corn meal) with remaining cool broth.
Using long-handled spoon, stir polenta into boiling broth (mixture will thicken and may spatter). Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly for five minutes. Season to taste with salt. Spoon into serving dish.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

This was outstanding. I added a cup of grated monterey jack cheese that made it even yummier. So good!
See previous rating (delish). Use low salt chicken broth. Taste before adding additional salt.

This recipe is so good that I suggest it serves only 3, no leftovers. For a better consistency, gently cook for 25 minutes instead of 5. Use a good quality bacon (e.g. smoked uncured, no nitrate or nitrite added) because the polenta will really absorb the wonderful flavors. I served this with grilled Italian sausages and sauteed spinach with garlic. Awsome.
