I made a few changes. I used the polenta, for a heartier flavor, I used smoked Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage instead of hot dogs (not a fan of hot dogs) and changed the oil to peanut oil. We really enjoyed the flavors and texture! It's great on a chilly day and you just want comfort food without standing in the kitchen all day. It's a keeper!

We like this recipe. I did change the hot dogs to chorizo sausage and liked it that way. We didn't have wheat flour, but next time I will make sure to add that. This is very good and we will be keeping this. Update: I just figured I can make this vegetarian using soy chorizo... I'll let you know of the results.

OMG YUM! So easy and so yummy! Very verdatile with the vegies, I onlyhad 1/2 cup of onion, 1 red capsicum and some canned corn. I also used a light sprinkling of chilli flakes instead of the jalapenos and substituted vegetarian hot dogs. So simple and easy, but not quite so fast - probably took me an hour from go to whoa. Would be great with a green salad. Took me 20 minutes at 200 C in a fan-forced oven.
