Creamy Crockpot Polenta

This is for a creamy polenta. I like mine loose and not thick. If you like it thicker just add less liquid. I was going to add cheese at the end, but it was so good without it. So I left it out. You could add butter and cheese at the end. I think the half and half made it taste creamy like cheese. I did't have milk to use, so I Just used the heavy cream. Next time I might try with coconut milk to make it less dairy. 

3 Cups water

1 Cup Half and Half (or milk or milk substitute or just all water for less creamy)

1 tsp salt

1/2 tst garlic powder

1 cup Bob's Polenta

Add everything to a 3 Qt crockpot

turn it on low for 5 hours

stir every once in awhile
