Now, that the kids started school and that my life is getting super crazy again I know that I have to have some pre-made dinner recipes. I just do not like it when we arrive home from after school activities and all the kids are starving and I have no clue what to feed them. This easy homemade enchilada sauce is the best and always saves me. I prepare it in large batches, store it in the fridge or sometimes freeze it.
This enchilada sauce is so versatile that can work in a lot of ways, you could use it to make enchiladas, or as a base for a soup or even as simple salsa.
