Prepared polenta (available in supermarkets) makes a great base for our saucy meat filling - no buns required.

Ingredients

  • 500-g tube prepared polenta

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 227-g pkg sliced button mushrooms

  • 1/2 700-mL jar tomato sauce

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Slice polenta into 9 rounds about ¾ in. (2 cm) thick. Arrange in 1 layer on the bottom of an 8-in. (2-L) square baking dish. Bake in centre of oven until polenta is hot, 15 to 20 min.

  • Meanwhile, lightly oil a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, crumble in meat. Sprinkle with seasoning and pinches of salt. Using a fork, stir frequently to keep meat crumbly. Cook meat until no longer pink, 3 to 5 min. Then add mushrooms. Stir often until mushrooms are soft, 3 to 5 min.

  • Stir in pasta sauce and bring to a boil. Remove polenta from oven. Pour sauce mixture overtop. Sprinkle with green onions and feta. Scoop into large bowls.
