Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square casserole dish. Mix together provolone and fontina cheeses in a bowl.
Step 3
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in bell pepper, green onions, and garlic; cook until pepper softens, about 3 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the polenta slices in the dish, top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture, and spread a thin layer of sauce over the cheese. Repeat layers twice more. Top casserole with Parmesan cheese.
