Really good. Especially with salsa and sour cream.

I love chili and I love polenta, but it just didn't taste as good together. Maybe if I had used my normal chili recipe rather than the one listed here, it would have been better. It wasn't terrible, just nothing I would make again.

Great recipe. It has made me a polenta lover. I topped it with a taco cheese blend. Made for Vegn Swap 6.

This was great, voted a keeper by the entire family. It covered two of our favorites, chili and polenta. It was also very easy to make.
