Polenta Appetizers

Description
This is a great appetizer that can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or on a grill. I love to stir in freshly chopped cilantro before pouring into baking pan.

Ingredients

 * 1 1/2 cups water
 * 1 1/2 cups milk
 * 2 tablespoons butter
 * 1 ounce onion soup mix
 * 1 cup yellow cornmeal
 * 1/2 cup whole kernel corn
 * 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
 * 1 jalapeno pepper or cherry pepper, chopped,to taste (I like more)
 * 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese or feta

Directions

 * Preheat oven to 350° degrees F.
 * Bring the water, milk and butter to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan.
 * With a wire whisk, stir in the cornmeal and onion soup mix.
 * Simmer uncovered, stirring constantly, for about 20 minutes or until thickened.
 * Stir in corn and peppers.
 * Spread the mixture in a lightly greased 9-inch square baking pan and sprinkle with the Cheese.
 * Bake in 350° degree oven for about 20 minutes.
 * Let stand until cool and firm.
 * When cool, cut into triangles.
 * (cut into larger squares and cut squares in half to form triangles).
 * At this point it can be refrigerated or frozen.
 * When ready to serve, place on cookie sheet and reheat in oven or place on grill to heat until hot and a little crispy.
