cornmeal

🥗Healthier: quinoa flour

Quinoa flour offers a gluten-free option while maintaining similar texture.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.

Add salt to the boiling water.

Gradually whisk in cornmeal to avoid lumps.

Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.

Let sit for a few minutes to firm up.

Transfer to a serving dish and smooth the top.

Cut into slices or serve spooned out.

Top with cheese and sour cream if desired.
