Homemade Red Chili Sauce 2/3 cup flour 2/3 up olive oil (or vegetable oil) 4 tsp. cumin 1/2-2/3 cup chili powder ( I use 2/3 and it's great, if too spicy, reduce. I buy big canisters of chili powder at Sam's, you want the regular red chili powder, not the hot stuff!) 8 cups of water or beef broth 4 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. or less of sea salt or regular salt 2 tsp. oregano 1. Mix flour and oil in sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until smooth 2. Add cumin and chili powder, stir, add water or beef broth 3. Add remaining ingredients 4. Simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of your mixing spoon. Note: Makes about 8 cups. I freeze it in 2 cup portions. This is an extremely versatile sauce. You can change spices and spiciness to your taste. It can be used in many recipes. I made enchiladas, Mexican lasagna and a Mexican "spaghetti sauce" by mixing it half and half with my no cook spaghetti sauce (tomato sauce plan)-delicious! Eventually I will write a Mexican plan, figured no one would want to wait that long for the recipe! I would like to try this in the crock pot. If any one does, let me know how it turns out!
