    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    3. 3 Topping: Beat together all topping ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended and smooth. Set aside.
    4. 4 Brownie: In a large microwavable mixing bowl, melt butter and chocolate using med power -- about 2 minutes---check every 45 seconds and stir. (Can also do in a saucepan over low heat.) Heat until chocolate is melted and smooth -- stir to make a smooth mixture.

    MEXICAN POLENTA PIE


    click below to get the full recipe
















































































































































    INGREDIENTS





  • 1 lb. pork butt or pork shoulder (a large semi-fatty cut of meat with no bones)
  • 1 lb. dry pinto beans, soaked
  • 12 oz. light beer + 12 oz. water (just refill the bottle)
  • 1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • 1 16 oz. jar salsa
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups polenta
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 14 oz. can corn, drained and rinsed
  • salt and pepper to taste (be generous!)
  • shredded cheese, cilantro, and salsa for topping
  • HOW TO DO IT
  • Place the pork, beans, beer, water, tomatoes, salsa, seasoning, and garlic in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. When pork is cooked through and beans are tender, shred the pork in the slow cooker with two forks.
  • Bring water to a boil in a large non-stick pan; add a pinch of salt. Add polenta and cook over medium low heat. It will splatter, so be careful! After a while the polenta should stop bubbling - stir in the corn. Continue stirring every once in a while to prevent it from sticking all over the bottom. It will thicken as it cooks - cook for about 20-25 minutes for a soft polenta, adding more water if necessary and seasoning it with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the meat and bean mixture in the bottom of a large pie, casserole, or baking dish and spread the polenta over the top. Cover with cheese (I used about a cup of shredded Mozzarella). Place under a broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted.
