Recipe
Polenta Crust:
Mix cornmeal and milk in a 2 quart saucepan. Stir in boiling water and
salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring frequently; remove from heat. Stir in chiles. Cool about 30 minutes or until set.
Chili:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick
cooking spray. Press or spread polenta mixture on bottom and up sides of
casserole to form a crust.
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic in oil for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is crisp-tender. Stir in remaining ingredients except the cheese. Heat thoroughly, stirring frequently. Spoon chili mixture into crust. Bake,
uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
