The WHOLE Enchilada!!

Once you try this....

You will never buy that canned stuff again!!

I used to buy that canned rojo (aka red)  enchilada sauce all the time because I felt intimidated about making any at home.  My biggest concern was that I didn't have the necessary ingredients...but I was wrong.   This is the best and now I make a double batch and water bath can the extra for the pantry.
