such a great sauce to have on hand, there are so many uses for it. I am sure this can be frozen too so why not make a double batch !?!

I've never thought about making a homemade enchilada sauce -- spaghetti sauce, yes of course -- but not enchilada sauce. I will definitely try this 🙂
Roxana
Such as simple and flavorful recipe. No need to buy anymore.

This sauce sounds amazing! Store bought enchilada sauce can be so full of sugar so making your own is a massive winner in my books! Your version sounds fab, I'll definitely have to give it a go!
