• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 4 ounces sausage (Italian or mild), crumbled
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Directions Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a moderate saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly add in polenta while stirring constantly until it has thickened and you can find no lumps remaining. Reduce heat to low and stir in butter, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Add bell peppers and sausage and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender and sausage is cooked through. Stir in garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Spoon mixture evenly over polenta in baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve warm with your chosen sides such as for instance roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes! Enjoy!
