Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 1 cup cornmeal 3 cups skim milk 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 5 ounces lean ground beef 1 1/2 cup red chile sauce (such as Herdez® Red Guajillo Chile Mexican Cooking Sauce) 1 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend, plus more for sprinkling on top 1 cup shredded lettuce, or to taste 1 tomato, diced, or to taste 2 tablespoons sliced pitted black olives, or to taste 2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste Directions Stir cornmeal, milk, and salt together in a medium saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens enough to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the olive oil. Spread on a greased cookie sheet. Cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake polenta crust in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in red chile sauce, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Top polenta crust with meat sauce and cheese. Return to the oven; bake until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes more. Top with lettuce, tomato, black olives, and sour cream. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, if desired.
