Beef Enchiladas

"This is one of my favourite recipes. My friends ask me to make this for them and I have been asked for the recipe many times. I have never tried a restaurant Enchilada that I have liked as much as this recipe, so I have stopped ordering them when I go out. When I get the craving I just make up a batch. They freeze well too."

  • In a medium saucepan combine tomato sauce, remaining chillies, green pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons bouillon, chilli powder, sugar, and cumin.
  • Simmer sauce for at least 10 minutes.

  1. We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! Was short on tomato sauce so added some salsa to fill out amount needed. Will definitely be making again. At the table we added chopped tomato, black olives and sour cream.
     
  2. I let my beef lovin' husband and son rate this and they gave it 5 thumbs up (they had to borrow one of my thumbs). I was drawn to this since I had everything in my kitchen and wanted to avoid canned enchilada sauce. Very flavorful and rich! I ended up with 9 enchiladas that were well-stuffed. Thanks PiceSeasGirl!
