I loved this recipe. I will use this every time. This is definately better than any store bought brand. I omitted the fresh garlic and used garlic powder instead and I subbed beef stock for chicken broth. If you are looking for a recipe for enchilada sauce...This IS the one! Thanks for the recipe.

THE FLAVORS ARE FANTASTIC!! I was afraid the chili would be too much, it was excellent. I added some chipotle powder for some heat

I veganized this recipe and it was AMAZING! This is definately my go-to recipe for enchilada sauce. I used white whole wheat flour, extra chili powder, extra cumin, extra garilic, vegan beef broth, koshar salt, and oregano from my garden. I think the extra and fresh spices really made the difference. I may use less or no oil next time, it kept sitting at the top when rested (even when cooked). Try this!! And if you don't like the flavor try changing the brand of your chili powder.

YUM!!! Best I've ever tasted. I minced the garlic and left it in the sauce and added 1/8 square of baking chocolate. It's definately a keeper.
