1 (24 ounce) package ready-cooked polenta (or more if you want a thicker layer of polenta)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch thick strips
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the polenta in half-inch slices and cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Press together to make one layer.
