Great recipe! I didn’t have fresh parsley or thyme but it still tasted great. Portobellos were on sale so I used those instead of creminis and I also replaced the parmesan with feta, just because it’s what was on hand. The polenta was SO good. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, we had this last Sunday after trying to convince my family for 3 days that it sounded good. I have to admit, this was only the second time eating polenta and that was part of the problem. The first polenta recipe I’ve ever tried was PW’s with goat cheese. EEK! I guess our palates aren’t quite that sofisticated, yet. So needless-to-say my family was rather reluctant to try polenta again. But this recipe gets a HUGE 10, thumbs up, yipee, deeeelish, whatever it takes to get my point across. We ALL loved it! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent recipe, the polenta was very creamy. I made it with stewed fish and instead of using grits I used your recipe. The family loved. The mushrooms and fish went very well together. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I made no changes to the recipe. I followed it exactly. And the end result was the creamiest and tastiest polenta I have ever had. Thanks again.

this is exactly what I’ve been craving since the weather turned cold here in the Pacific Northwest! Looks like a comforting bowl of bacon-y goodness I could really sink my fork into!

Bacon and mushrooms are two of my favorite things. This looks so amazing! I can’t wait to give it a try.

I haven’t eaten much polenta in my life but I thought this was tasty. I skipped the pieces of bacon (used only bacon fat) and added swiss chard and garlic to the mushrooms. I also put some chopped tomatoes on top. Added a wonderful freshness. Oh, and used parsley instead of thyme. Guess I changed it up quite a bit. Great recipe!
