This was a really neat dish. I really enjoyed it, and so did my husband who is a bit nervous about polenta (especially in the tube :) I did make some variations and changes. I added half a chopped red pepper and red onion for color. I used two zuchinni because I didn't have eggplant. I also used taco mix because I didn't have fajita. I didn't use the whole packet (to cut down on sodium). I also didn't put the salsa or olives on the casserole. I think the salsa could make it a bit watery, so I decided not to. Also, I sprinkled oregano, pepper and garlic powder over the polento circles before adding the bean mixture. I also think that you could cut down on the amount of beans (personal preference) as it seemed to overwhelm the vegetable mixture at times. I used 1 can of kidney beans and half a can each of garbonzo and cannellini beans.I also used a fiesta blend of cheese isntead of the mozzarella. I served the casserole with salsa, olives and sour cream. The flavor was great. Will make again! Thanks Karen. :)

This was pretty good - not the best recipe ever, but made a good, hearty meal. I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh and only half of the fajita seasoning-which was very salty. Also, I left out the salsa because I dislike the flavor of bottled salsa in cooked recipes - overpowers the vegetables. Would be good with salsa and sour cream on the side!

I haven't made this as a casserole yet, but threw black beans, polenta, corn, and a cooked salsa in a pan with some cheddar and garlic for a tasty meal. I'll definitely be making this as a casserole, but will use a can of green chiles and can of drained diced tomatoes instead of the salsa. It would also be good with crumbled burger or seasoned tofu to add some extra protein. Easy, quick and yummy!

Good easy recipe. Like other reviewers, I kept the salsa out to keep the dish from being too watery and served it on the side. I added green chile peppers as well. Filling and nice flavor.

This was very tasty. I did make a few alterations but stuck to the spirit of the recipe.I left out the beans and instead added some roasted zucchini. I also roasted the eggplant. I also left off the salsa and used a very light dusting of a cheese blend. It was quite good, very healthy and reheats very well.

Delicious flavor. A little inconsistent in texture though--lots of loose whole beans floating in juice. I liked it. My one year old ate it up. My three year old wouldn't touch it and my dh ate it but wouldn't eat the left overs. It was worth the try but don't know if I would make it again.

This was delicious! I made my own seasoning mix instead of fajita seasoning. Also used yellow squash instead of eggplant since it's what I had. Nice and healthy, I will definitely make this again!

Along with others, I also used half packet of seasoning. Since we like polenta, we may add more next time, putting another layer in the middle. Thanks for sharing!

very good dinner, and enough to feed a large family for 2 full meals! i was very impressed with the combo of the eggplant, onion, mushrooms and seasoning, and would definitely use that part in other recipes. i did also cut back to 1/2 packet, and used taco seasoning instead. 5 stars!!
