Chris Loves Beef Enchiladas, CVC's Southern Kitchen

[Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] do [Music] these are really good they're cheesy just like the restaurant yeah enchiladas yeah good stuff hey y'all it's tammy with collard valley cooks and today we're making one of chris's favorites beef enchiladas with homemade enchilada and cheese sauce [Music] we're going to start out making the enchilada sauce this is one of chris's very favorites and it's in the second cookbook along with the enchilada recipe so we're going to start with the sauce and the first thing you do is you use a quarter cup of oil and get it hot in a saucepan because then you're going to add a little flour to it so we're going to go ahead and put in a quarter cup of cooking oil this is just vegetable oil you can use corn oil whatever you want to use so we're going to i'm going to use my big thing of chili powder in this 8 cup scoop and we're going to scoop out whoops a quarter cup of chili powder because we're going to be adding garlic so make sure you got a garlic clove handy i'm going to use a press for it but i'm not going to press it until it's time to use it and so we got that ready we've got eight ounces of tomato sauce now this is picante tomato sauce and i just happen to have this in the pantry so it'll have a little heat to it so i'm gonna use it today we'll be using some cumin as well so right now our oil is getting warm we're going to go ahead and put in our two tablespoons of flour and that's just regular all-purpose flour and i'll let that mix up in that oil we've got our flour and our hot oil and now we're going to put in our chili powder that's a quarter cup of chili powder enchilada sauce has a lot of chili powder in it we're going to add some garlic so we'll dice a little bit right quick dice is really small so i'm cutting the lines really small not like chopping them and really thin this way and that's probably about a tablespoon all right we're going to put in this tablespoon of diced onion we're going to put in this eight ounces of tomato sauce i'm going to turn it down all right we're going to add one and a half cups of water here's a cup and a half of water now we're going to put in a half teaspoon of ground cumin a teaspoon of salt and a half a cup of ketchup so all we got left is ketchup we've got in cooking oil flour chili powder garlic onion tomato sauce water cumin salt and now it's just ketchup a half a cup of ketchup now all we have to do is let this simmer for 10 minutes and then we'll pour it up and put it in something to pour it out of the serve okay so we're just going to flip over in the cookbook to page 29 where the enchilada recipe is you want to have a nice casserole dish you can go ahead and spray it with cooking spray i'm going to go ahead and preheat the oven i don't even tell you what temperature to bake it on so we'll just go with 350. so you might want to put a note in here on page 29 bake at 350 degrees all right so for the for this you're going to need enchilada sauce which we have prepared uh we're going to need a cheese sauce you're going to need some corn tortillas in which christmas got some really nice soft fresh ones today so the next thing i guess we can do is make our cheese sauce all right while your sauce is simmering you need to whisk it um well off the bottom of the pot so that it doesn't stick because it's nice and kind of a creamy sauce it's not real thick but it's a really nice sauce so you don't want it to just sit there and boil the whole time without stirring it all right we're gonna jump over here and make our cheese sauce you're gonna need two cups of shredded mexican blend cheese two okay all you're going to do is have two cups of this cheese and a batter bowl or something that's microwavable you're going to put in a quarter cup of water into your measured cup and then fill it to the one cup mark so you'll have a quarter cup of water and three quarter cups of half and half if you don't know what half and half is it's half regular milk and half cream so you can mix that up yourself uh half regular milk and half cream you can use whipping cream or you can use evaporated milk for your cream either one we're going to put this in here and we're going to microwave this on one minute intervals and mix it and whisk it in between all right with this cheese sauce you've got to microwave it until it looks creamy because at first it's going to look all lumpy looking so you got to get it hot enough to really get that cheese mixed in good with the milk or it's going to look all lumpy looking so just remember that i think this looks good we're going to sit this right here and now we're going to pour up our sauce into a jar i'm going to use a pint jar to put my sauce in so i'll mix it good about the size good then we're going to pour it in this jar nice and hot all right it's not all going to quite fit in the jar we're going to use what's in the pot use for our enchiladas tonight and then i will have this much sauce reserved for the next time we want to have something delicious and of course you can use it on other things you don't have to just use it on an enchilada you can use it on burritos or whatever you want to make so if you're going to pour it you can buy these ball jars that have a spout for a straw and i like to use them as a pour spout for like caramel sauces and barbecue sauces and things like this so just keep that in mind these are on the website for sale if you want to get one and they also have them at your local walmart so i'm going to put the lid on this and let that cool down we're about ready to mix up our enchiladas now for our enchiladas we have a ground chuck that's already drained and cooked and so now all we have to do is put them together all right i just warm these up a little bit you can wet them a little bit because these things are prone to want to just fall to pieces on you so do it really really fast after you heat them up i just stuck them in the microwave for 30 seconds and so i'm just going to go fast i'll make one more beef and then i'm gonna make a couple of cheese it's either already want to split up on me it it just takes them a second and yeah you can wet them but i just don't want to go to the turtle all right so we're gonna do a little bit of cheese and a couple now we're going to that's all i'm making for us because it's just a few of us now what we're going to do is pour our cheese sauce over the top of them then i'm gonna pour this enchilada sauce over the top of them and you can make more you know of course i there's enough cheese sauce and enchilada sauce to make as many as you want now we're just going to top them with a little bit of cheese and get them in the oven and bake them until they're hot and bubbly and then we're going to enjoy dinner yum simple easy cooking these are nice and bubbly so we're ready to get them out so all right we're gonna dip some out for you this is chris's favorite i don't know how hot that sauce is gonna be when you tasted it crisp was it pretty hot a little bit a little bit looks nice and bubbly don't it so i had these on 350 and then right when i uh about 10 minutes before i got them out of the oven i turned them up to 375 just to get them nice and bubbly all right so i'm going to get chris is out of the middle because he likes the beef ones the best all right let's try you want to see what it looks like up close sure these are really good they're cheesy not too spicy tasted uh i tasted some of the sauce before she put the ketchup in it and uh it was a little more spicy but this is good not spicy at all you still like the recipe as simple as it is i'm surprised you like them so much but it's the sauce i guess that makes them right yep let me put some sauerkraut it's just like the restaurant yeah yeah good stuff all right he likes them so thanks for watching y'all thanks for watching color valley cooks where we cook like mama did and sometimes
