Cook ground beef or venison, stirring to keep it crumbly. Add salt, Bragg's Aminos, Creole season, 1/4 cup or less Maple syrup, pepper, garlic powder. All to taste
Drain meat, and spoon meat on top of grits, leaving a space around the edges of the grits for the onions

Slice onion into rings, saute. Pour all around the space on the grits, going around the meat.
