Ingredients

  • Blueberry Barbacoa:
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 8 oz. can of organic tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup pureed blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 3 pound chuck roast cut into 3 inch chunks
  • Cheddar Cornbread Waffles:
  • 1 package cornbread mix I used Bob’s Red Mill
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except roast in a sauce pan and simmer for 30 minutes or until you have a liquid barbeque sauce consistency. Stir occasionally to avoid any clumping or burning. (This sauce stores well for up to a month in the fridge!)
  • In a slow cooker, put a thin layer of the blueberry sauce at the bottom. Place the pieces of chuck roast on top of the sauce and add more sauce but keeping ½ cup aside for serving.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • Cut or shred the beef into bite sized pieces and soak in the remaining juices
  • Preheat waffle iron. Follow instructions as written for cornbread plus additionally adding water and cheese. The consistency should still be very thick!
  • Once the waffle iron is hot, spray very well with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop a large or small dollop of the cornbread mix onto the waffle iron and close for 2-4 minutes depending on the amount of batter used. I kept mine in on the longer side because I wanted an extra crunchy waffle.
  • Using a slotted spoon, serve the Baracoa over the waffle and drizzle with the remaining blueberry sauce. Enjoy!
