DIRECTIONS

1 Heat oven to 350°F. If necessary, cut thin slice off bottom of each bell pepper so peppers stand upright. 2 In medium bowl, mix polenta pieces, corn, and half of each of the cheeses. Salt and pepper to taste. Spoon polenta mixture into bell peppers; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place filled peppers in ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish.

Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes. 4 Remove foil; bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until bell peppers are crisp-tender and filling is thoroughly heated. Cool 5 minutes. Carefully remove bell peppers from dish. Garnish each with sour cream.
