I woke up wanting something interesting for breakfast. I went to “my recipes”  on CL and my folder to try – breakfast and this was the first item! I had 2 buffalo sausage and some spanish chorrizo in the fridge, no green onion, but i never so, but i did have some chopped red onion in the freezer.
I skipped the thyme as other suggested it was too overpowering, added a jalapeño, used a bigger pan as other suggested, and didn’t do the overnight thing – straight from 15 minute rest to the oven. It worked out pretty well. To me there was very little heat unless you got a bite of the sausage. Maybe next time i’d use the Mexican chorrizo so there would be more crumble to polenta bite! All in all a good choice and i think having it ready in 30 min after you get up could be very nice! Wonder if you could prep, freeze, then defrost… hmmm

Ingredients:

• 6 ounce diced sausage (something tasty)
• 2 ounces diced spanish chorizo

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add sausage; sauté 3 minutes or until browned. Add onions, jalapeño, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Bring milk to a simmer in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in polenta and salt; simmer 7 minutes, stirring frequently with a whisk. Remove from heat.

I didn’t let it sit overnight, i just put it straight into the oven and it was great!
