Easy Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce

Red Enchilada Sauce


Ingredients:
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp oregano
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 15 oz can tomato sauce

Instructions:
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and stir over the heat for one minute. Stir in the remaining seasonings (chili powder through oregano). Then gradually add in the stock, whisking to remove lumps. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes until thick. Add tomato sauce. Simmer 10 more minutes.

Tips: I like to put a roast in the crockpot and add this sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred meat and make yummy enchiladas, "wet" burritos, etc.
