When it all goes terribly wrong

zviWhat do you do if you try a new recipe for your batch lunches and it's terrible?
I have a "polenta and black bean casserole" from a Weight Watchers recipe; it is not particularly edible, and I'm facing 3.5 more lunches of this junk. Today I added more corn, which is marginally better than yesterday, and I've given some thought to rice, but I am not looking forward to it. (The problem is that I didn't have enough polenta to form a crust and create the sort of cohesion I expect from a casserole, and I foolishly followed the directions for a tablespoon of chili powder, and now there's heat w/o any particular flavor.)
