    I was looking for something like all the tex-mex recipes in San Antonio. Very good sauce, but not what I was looking for.

    My husband and I thought it was great! I took some suggestions given by Chef #1076422, and I ended up with a nice, thick sauce - and plenty of it. I made cheese, beef , and beef with veggie enchiladas and the sauce set it all off so nicely. Very delicious.

    Beyond awesome! Just made it (4/6/12. THANKS TO REVIEWERS - used 1 tbsp cumin versus 1 tsp., 3 cups chicken stock versus 2 cups, very scant 1/4 cup chili powder, 1/4 tsp salt versus 1/2 tsp., 1 6-oz can tomato paste plus added 1 finely diced tomato. You can ALWAYS add the xtra! NEVER NEVER will I purchase canned enchilada sauce again. This was easy, easy, easy to make!

    Very easy to prepare with ingredients I have in my spice cabinet! Flavorful and not too spicy!! Tastes better than the canned version I usually buy!! I substituted olive oil for the vegetable oil and added a little tomato sauce since I only had one 6 ounce can of tomato paste in the cupboard. It's delicious!!

    Easy! I made two substitutions - beef stock for chicken, and tomato sauce for paste. So delicious! A keeper for sure!

    Hmmm...not a fan. Couldn't find my usual home-made recipe (I got from a local chef in an intermediate cooking class, it's lost in my recipe drawer, so I borrowed Emeril's recipe. Bottom line: It will do in a pinch - but this sauce really over powered the filling. All we could taste is chili powder. If your a using this recipe, just tweak it to your liking - thin out with lime juice or more stock. Perhaps less chili powder. It's worth a try. As for me, I'm hunting for my other recipe.

    Oh my God! What a fast and delicious recipe. I am so glad I tried Emeril's Easy Enchilada Sauce recipe.

    Thanks for the perfect sauce for my homemade enchilada's!


    Looking at the last review - I did make the whole recipe.

    Another hit from Emeril. I cut the recipe in half but wish I'd made the whole thing. I didn't think it was too tomato-y, but thought it was a bit thick, even after I thinnned it with stock. Another of Emeril's enchilada recipes uses the same ingredients except uses pureed tomatoes. I will try that next. YUMMY!
