I’ve got several football lovers in my house, so football is on our TV a lot, especially since we are heading into the NFL playoffs.
Who are you watching the big games with?
Whether you are hosting a game day party or just watching with your family at home, football games require tailgating food of course! I have a super simple game day recipe for you! I picked up a few Old El Paso™ and Budweiser® products at my local Walmart to make these Game Day Mini Beef Burrito Bowls with Beer Cheese Sauce. The beef is slow cooked in beer and the beer cheese sauce includes this Oculto Blue Agave Infused beer!
I try to use my slow cooker whenever I can because the easier the recipe the better. The beef roast is slow cooked in Oculto and Old El Paso™ taco seasoning all day so it’s nice and tender for your mini burrito bowls. You can even pre-make this the day before the big game if you want to simplify game-day prep.
Old El Paso™ Mini soft tortilla taco boats make the perfect bite-sized burrito bowl to hold all that cheesy and beefy goodness. Get game-day ready with these recipes!

These look amazing and that sauce looks so good!
Oh man these bowls look so darn good. Perfect meal.
Yes, kids like the boats! I’m a big believer in moderation (re: processed foods) ;)
What cute little boats! I haven’t seen those yet. Looking at the ingredients they’re a bit overprocessed for me, but your recipe idea is fantastic. I love that Oculto beer, I tried it in Vegas :)
