I wish I had a great story to go along with this dish, but sadly I don’t.
This is just one of those recipes that I created “thinking hmmm” what can I do to make Polenta a wee bit jazzier?
I think the addition of the cheese and bacon did the trick.
If you can’t find apple wood smoked bacon in your area you can use regular bacon.
