Creamy Cheesy Polenta
Ingredients Needed
-
2 cups whole milk
-
2 cups water
-
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 cup polenta or yellow cornmeal
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
-
In a large pot, combine milk, water, and kosher salt over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Gradually whisk the polenta into the boiling liquid. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes to keep it from sticking and ensure it becomes creamy.
-
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in butter and black pepper until fully mixed. Slowly add cheese, stirring until it melts into the creamy polenta. Serve warm.
