100% would make again

Enchiladas are typically prepared with corn tortillas, but my husband, Jeff, and I prefer flour tortillas. I use them in this saucy casserole that has irresistible home-cooked flavor and a subtle kick. Jennifer Standridge Dallas, Georgia

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
  • SAUCE:
  • 4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

  • In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the flour and seasonings until blended. Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

one of my husband's favorites. I have made it for company and had rave reviews. i add a bit more stewed tomatoes to it, though, as my family prefers that!!

I substituted a can of Rotel tomatoes for the tomato sauce with great results. It gave it a nice extra kick.

This is one of the best recipes I've ever tried, we use chicken for the filling. This sauce is the best

If i am lazy and don't want to make the meat sauce, I squish up my homemade chili (that i always keep a supply of in the freezer) and use it instead. And I agree with mattnat, I could practically drink the sauce!

This is well worth the time it takes in the kitchen. Every time I make it; the sauce is so delicious I end up scraping the pan and licking the spoon! The other night I made the meat filling from this recipe; put it in some store bought tostada bowls with some salad fixings. It was a big hit! My kids are not fans of enchiladas, so I save some tortillas when I make the enchiladas and make "soft tacos" for them.

This dish is so delicious. I also use the meat recipe for tacos. This is a recipe that I will use over and over again. Thanks
