Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring until onion is soft. Set aside.
Spread the marinara sauce over polenta 'crust'. Top with the onion and pepper mixture, pepperoni, ham and pineapple. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle cheese over the top, bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Wait...you were supposed to have meatloaf last night. Now my Malm dinner calendar is all screwed up! :)
ReplyDeleteQuick question: Did the recipe call for polenta or cous cous? I'm curious because polenta is a grain (corn) and cous cous is a pasta.
It called for polenta (which is less points) but I only had couscous which worked just fine.
ReplyDeleteYum! I think I will try!
