This is a great recipe. You can even just fry it in a pan like pancakes instead of waiting to cut circles out. Very good!

If you like the flavor of Parmesan, then you will enjoy this quite a bit. I didn't cook it for 20 minutes. I actually only cooked it for about 5, I've never made polenta before, so I wasn't sure what the consistency should be. We ate it warm, and most people seemed to like it.

Easy to make, and inexpensive, yet so tasty! I will be bringing this dish to every potluck I go to until people start to notice that I keep bringing the same thing. :)

I thought this was pretty good, but I sill need more experience with polenta. I chose to fry this cheese polenta after it set up.

I don't know what polenta is supposed to be like, but my friend, whose mother makes it every year, agreed with me in saying that the consistency was squishy and it was overall very bland.

Thank you SOoooo much for answering a question I've had for a long time! I just KNEW that I didn't need to be buying the over-priced "polenta" packages! I KNEW there HAD to be a cheaper way of making it myself! Turns out, polenta is really same thing as a childhood favorite: Cornmeal Mush!! Many thanks!!

the best polenta ever, altho you need to monitor the salt due to difference in cheese salt amounts, it is easy to make this too salty. i also cut about 2/3 cup of the water, as i like my polenta very firm, but that is just a personal preference. you can change cheese types and add spice, herbs, meat or vegies to your heart's desire. perfect beginning recipe. just plan ahead (i freeze individual slices in vac seal bags and have it handy for serving all the time!

This is the best and easiest breakfast ever! (Or dinner, or lunch, or...) It cooked a lot quicker than the directions said. I also added some chopped chives. So good!

My first taste of polenta, was when we ate at Emerils, at Universal Studios Orlando. I was kind of surprised...breakfast meets dinner. Well obviously it was that good and I found myself looking at recipes. I must say that on my first attempt I believe I achieved perfection, but I had to make some changes. I used 2 cups of milk, 2 Tbsp butter, 1/2 cup white cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese...yummy!!!!!

Next time making this I would use a smaller loaf pan. I used a 9x5, and the slices of polenta were very short and thick. When I broiled them for a different recipe (polenta and roasted vegetables) the middles stayed a little too soft. I also definately reccomend adding garlic powder or salt or other spices for extra flavor. Although this was a new taste and texture for us, my husband and I both liked it, and will try it again with modifications.

This was a great recipe! It was my first time making polenta, and even though it took so long to cook (and set) it was so worth it! The parmesan gave it a great flavour, and frying it with a little olive oil was super.

Much better than store-bought, but a lot more work. It was a little too salty for my taste, so next time I'll cut down on that. Otherwise, delicious.

I couldn't find my mom's polenta recipe last night, so I used this one as a substitute. This never set up firm in the fridge like I'm used to (and it was in there at least an hour). I didn't even use all the water this called for!!! Oh well...I do add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil when I make this...and don't forget some red pepper!!.....duh...now I notice this direction of letting this set up for 4 hrs!! Sheeze, who has that kind of time!

Wonderful! I made "green polenta" by adding minced garlic, cilantro, and one half of a finely chopped anaheim chile.

This was DELICIOSO!! It was my first time making polenta and this turned out fantastic! I took others' advice and added a little garlic salt. Be sure you keep stirring when you add the corn meal to the boiling water. I refrigerated it for 3 hours then fried it in olive oil...AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Great cheese flavor- not overpowering. I was eating it by the spoonful out of the pan! I give this recipe a five for being so incredibly EASY and soooooo TASTY!!!
