Boil the water with salt. Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low and add the cornmeal, while stirring constantly. Keep stirring, you will notice the polenta will thicken.

Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.

In a 9 x 13 in baking dish, spread half of the polenta using some of the remaining bacon fat. Sprinkle with half of the feta cheese. Add all the sausage and half of the bacon.

Step 5

Repeat with another layer using the remaining polenta. Add the remaining cheese and top off with the remaining bacon.

Step 6

Bake for about 10 min.

Step 7
