Chipotle Burrito Bowl Chili

Drive to your neighborhood Chipotle restaurant. Order two burrito bowls as follows:

Bowl 1 ingredients: brown rice, pinto beans, steak, pico de gallo, tomatillo-green chili salsa, corn salsa, and cilantro on the side. Chipotle will give you a side of washed and chopped fresh cilantro on the side, free of charge, if you ask.

Bowl 2 ingredients: brown rice, black beans, barbacoa, pico de gallo, tomatillo-green chili salsa, and corn salsa.

(The only difference between the two bowls is the meat (barbacoa and steak) and beans(pinto beans and black beans); everything else is the same for both.)

Add the burrito bowl ingredients (except cilantro), tomato paste, bacon, bouillon cubes, vegetable broth, beer, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, seasoned salt, cumin, ground pepper and sugar into a large slow cooker. Stir and season according to preference.

Cover and cook on high setting for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. With roughly 20-30 minutes before the chili finishes cooking, stir in chopped cilantro to combine and cook for a final 20-30 minutes.

Serve with sour cream, chopped green onions, shredded cheese, or tortilla chips as toppings, if desired.

Note: We use a 6 quart slow cooker.
