This was an excellent dish. I used cheap, basic salsa, but next time I will splurge and use something more interesting and exotic. I couldn't find a roll of polenta at our store (crazy, I know, but we're pretty rural) and so I made Microwave Polenta, recipe #3503, and spread it over the top. It turned out fine and I will probably do that again (it is less expensive than a roll of polenta would have been, anyway).

Deeeeelicous!!!!! I made the following changes. First, I used ground chicken. Next I used a 14.5 oz can of crushed tomatoes with jalepeno and small can of tomato paste,, plus cumin as a seasoning, combined and cooked, for the salsa. After mixing the chicken with the beans and sauce I placed the mixture in the pan and topped with chopped onions and peppers. I then topped with polenta and cheese. My husband loved it. We are happy that we have leftovers.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
