  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the meat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Mix in the tomato sauce and pasta sauce until thoroughly combined; bring to a simmer.
  • Remove the polenta from its package, and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Lay the slices in a single layer in a 9x12-inch baking dish.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbling, about 20 minutes.
