This chunky, mild sauce is a great way to use up abundant veggies from the garden. It tastes great on Mexican dishes and scrambled eggs. -Rebecca Schwegman, St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin

The sauce was bland and lacked flavor. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

Easy to make and tasted great! I added a little bit of extra chili powder to give it a bit more heat. Will definitely be making this again.

Great recipe! The sauce was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. I used it on beef enchiladas and they were delicious. My family loved it.

This sauce is amazing! It's so easy to make and it tastes like it came from a restaurant. I used it on chicken enchiladas and they were the best enchiladas I've ever had. Will definitely be making this sauce again.

I've made this enchilada sauce recipe several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The sauce is flavorful and has just the right amount of heat. I like to serve it with chicken or beef enchiladas, but it would also be great on taco
