Ingredients

4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
3 cans (15 ounces each) vegetarian chili with beans
1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and well drained

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large heavy saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon until polenta is thickened and pulls away cleanly from side of pan, 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup cheddar cheese until melted.
Spread into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat chili according to package directions.
Spread vegetables over polenta; top with chili. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 12-15 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
