Let me introduce you to your new weeknight life saver.  The Slow Cooker Beef Burrito Bowl.  On Wednesday I shared my All Purpose Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef, which works for all kinds of meals.  My favorite use so far though is this burrito bowl.  First of all, I’ve been a sucker for burrito bowls ever since I first tried them at Chipotle.  All those delicious flavors in a big bowl, how can you not love that?

To be honest, it has been a few years since I’ve found myself at a Chipotle, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying burrito bowls at home.  One reason I LOVE these is that they are so easy to throw together, especially if the ingredients have been prepared ahead of time.  I have been eating burrito bowls for breakfast lunch and dinner (OK, slight exaggeration, but lots of leftovers is the life of a food blogger) and I love that I can just open my fridge and grab the ingredients in their various storage containers, reheat the things I want reheated and have lunch ready a few minutes later.

Even the preparation of this Slow Cooker Beef Burrito Bowl is super easy – the beef is made in the slow cooker, so it’s mostly hands off.  Start a pot of rice, reheat a can of beans and some frozen corn, whip together my Super Easy Guacamole (only 4 ingredients!) and presto – have yourself a delicious burrito bowl.  Done and done.  To quote my BFF Ina , how easy is that?

This is a great make ahead meal.  All ingredients can be prepared ahead of time and stored separately in the fridge.  Rice, beans, corn and meat can be reheated and the bowls can be put together in just a few minutes.

I didn't add cheese to my bowl to save on calories but feel free to add some of your favorite shredded cheese, I bet it is delicious!
