Hooray, this is THE Tex-Mex chile sauce, the one used to make enchiladas or chile con carne. Much better than the packets or cans of enchilada sauce, and the same taste I grew up loving.
The first time I made it, I needed to add about 2tbl sugar (rather than 1/2tsp) to take the edge off the bitterness. The second time, only 1tbl was needed. Just add what you need -- this did not make a sweet sauce.
Makes about 4 cups. I used half for a dozen enchiladas and froze the other half for use later.
