Instructions
- Put the pork, beans, beer, water, tomatoes, salsa, seasoning, and garlic in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
- When pork is cooked through and beans are tender, shred the pork in the slow cooker with two forks.
- Bring water to a boil in a large non-stick pan and add a pinch of salt.
- Add polenta and cook over medium low heat.
- When the polenta stops bubbling, stir in the corn. Continue stirring every once in a while to prevent it from sticking all over the bottom.
- Cook until the polenta softens, about 20-25 minutes for a soft polenta, adding more water if necessary and seasoning it with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Arrange the meat and bean mixture in the bottom of a large baking dish and spread the polenta over the top.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place under a broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted.
