Ingredients

• For Beef -
• 1 3 lb. boneless chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 15 oz bottle of gluten-free dairy-free bbq sauce
• For Polenta -
• 6 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups Bob's Red Mill Corn Grits/Polenta
• 3 tablespoon ghee

Instructions

• Put roast in your slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic powder and onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Pour BBQ sauce over meat.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
• Remove meat from slow cooker, shred, and return to slow cooker. Cook for 1 more hour.
• For Polenta
• In a large deep pan over high heat, bring water and salt to a boil; stir in the polenta.
• Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until mixture is very thick (about 30 minutes). Be sure to use a long-handled spoon to avoid burns from the popping and bubbling mixture!
• Stir in the ghee and additional salt, if you prefer.
• Spray a medium-sized bowl with canola oil spray. Spoon polenta into the bowl and let set for 10 minutes.
• Invert onto a flat plate; mixture should continue to hold shape of the bowl.
