  • 28 oz diced tomatoes
  • 6 oz tomato paste

Instruction

  • In a small saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil. Stir in cornmeal and salt and reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes - it will thicken considerably.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup cheese and Montreal Steak seasoning. Spread into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • In a deep skillet, saute ground beef, onion, and zucchini until beef is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain and return to pan.
  • Stir in undrained tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook on low for 10 minutes.
  • Spread over polenta layer in baking dish. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
