This is an excellent base for enchilada sauce. I agree that I like knowing exactly what is in the sauce, and I don't care for the tinny taste of the canned ones I have tried. We like ours spicier than this recipe calls for so I altered the recipe by adding some jalapenos along with the anaheims and used Mexican chili powder instead of the cumin. Poured the sauce over ground beef enchiladas, topped with cheese, baked and enjoyed!
