Slow Cooker Polenta
Polenta is so easy to make, especially with this slow cooker polenta version which has only 5 minutes of prep time and cooks slowly to creamy perfection.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the chicken broth, dry polenta, salt, garlic powder, and water in the slow cooker. Mix well
- Set the crockpot to high.
- Cook for 2 hours and 45 minutes, mixing once or twice during the time.
- Taste the polenta. If you’re satisfied with the creaminess proceed to the next step, but if not add an additional 15 minutes and check again.
- Mix the butter and parmesan cheese into the polenta mixture.
- Cook for another 15 minutes or until soft and smooth, then serve hot.
Notes
Storage: When transferring leftover polenta into an airtight container, press it down with a fork or spoon so it's easier to cut into slices later.
Easy reheating: Put leftovers in a ramekin and air fry for a few minutes at 370 F.
Change it up: You can make this crock pot polenta different every time you make it, perhaps adding sun-dried tomatoes, onion and mushrooms, throwing in some hot sauce or chili powder, or using colby jack or mozzarella in place of parmesan (the kids love this version!)
