Instructions: 1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 cups water and bring to a boil.

2. Gradually stir in the polenta, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the polenta is very thick and leaves the side of the pan as it is stirred, about 25 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the cheese and salt. Cover and let sit 5 minutes. Serve hot.
