Crock Pot Smothered Beef Burritos

So when did Jeopardy get so hard?

I don’t usually have time to sit down and watch a show, but the other day I had a few minutes of down time and Jeopardy happened to be on. I could only answer two of the questions, and they were in the first round and only worth 200 points. I don’t think I’ll be trying out for that show anytime soon.

Apparently you need to be on the verge of rocket scientist smart to be on the show.

One thing I totally rock at though is Scrambled.

It’s the most awesome-ist App you could ever get. It’s like playing Boggle against your friends. I’m going to toot my own horn here and say that I win just about every time.

With one exception… my sister.

My older sister {college degree sister} always manages to kill me. There have been a few rare occasions where I squeak out a victory, after which a ridiculous dance is performed by yours truly.

Pretty sure she has no idea how much I try to beat her.

I am pretty sure I have A.D.D when it comes to Apps though. I become completely obsessed with the ones I download and then after a few days I get bored and never open them again.

Scrambled is not one of those Apps. If you have an iPhone, you should download it and play me! {user name – AuFish84} {it’s a long story}

Are there any Apps that you can’t live without?

Along with Scrambled, I love Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Groupon. I use all of those at least once a day.

I am always looking for a new app, so bring it on!

I am also always looking for new crock pot recipes.

There is nothing better than walking in the door to amazing smells. I saw these awesome burritos on Pinterest a few days ago and I knew I just had to make them. I don’t have very many beef recipes on my blog, and I thought this one would make a great addition.

I found these sweet tinfoil containers at WalMart that they use at my favorite Mexican Restaurant. They were only $0.94 for 3! Totally worth it.

They are easy to assemble. Just a few tablespoons of beans, a good helping of the beef, (Make sure to remove the beef with a slotted spoon) and start rolling it up.

Fold in the opposite sides of the burrito like so…

Fold one of the open ends over and start rolling…

Top with some of the liquid from the crock pot and a nice shower of cheese.

Turn on your broiler and place it in the oven till the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve it with a side of Cilantro Lime Rice from Two Peas and Their Pod, along with some chips and you have one fantastic meal! So easy I’m sure you’ll love it.

The beef is so tender and the flavors are just magnificently paired together.

Give it a try!
