Super Cheesy Polenta (Rice Cooker)

Super Cheesy Polenta (Rice Cooker)

Adapted from an internet recipe.
I made this on 15 Feb 2018 and was very liked my wife and I, great flavor and a perfect side dish. This will be a regular now. I used my small rice cooker for this, a simple cook and warm model which is perfect for this.
