Just kidding.
I thought I'd try another recipe from the Homesick Texan. Tex-Mex Cheese Enchiladas with Chili con Carne Sauce.
Excellent ! Pam says it is better than any restaurant she can remember. I have decided recently that you cannot make enchiladas or chili without going back to the primevel source - the dried chile pepper. In this case, 6 ancho chiles were needed.
Deseed and hydrate the anchos.
Saute onions and garlic. This makes it an official BGE cook.
Brown the hamburger meat.
Mix blended chili sauce, onions, hamburger meat and spices. Assemble enchiladas and bake for 15 minutes. I didn't want to fire up the large Egg for 15 minutes so I did it in the oven. My way of helping the EPA out.
Plated and ready to eat with a margarita.
Feliz Domingo de Tex-Mex !

Excellent! Regarding the ancho chili sauce, I just bought some ancho and other dried chilies to make homemade chili powder. I didn't realize you could buy a truckload of dried peppers for very little $$$. What do you do with them after you re-hydrate them? Mix in a blender?Sarasota, FL via Boynton Beach, FL, via Sarasota, FL, via Charleston, SC, via The Outer Banks, via God's Country (East TN on Ft. Loudon Lake)

Yes, in this case, you mix the chiles, onions, and spices like cumin, oregano, allspice and water in the blender until smooth. Than, put it in a pan with the hamburger meat and beef broth and simmer for 30 minutes.When I make chili powder, I also hydrate them and put them in a blender with spices. Usually, I will then dehydrate them and grind them for powder.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -

Eggbertsdad. Here is the recipe.6 dried Ancho chiles
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 medium Onion , yellow, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
½ tablespoon Cumin , ground
½ teaspoon Oregano, dried
¼ teaspoon Allspice
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
¼ pound Ground beef
2 cups Beef broth
Salt & Pepper, to taste
---for the enchiladas -----
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
12 Corn tortillas
4 cups Chedder cheese, grated
½ medium Onion , diced1.In a dry skillet heated on high, toast the ancho chiles on each side for about 10 seconds or just until they start to puff. Fill the skillet with enough water to cover chiles. Leave the heat on until the water begins to boil and then turn off the heat and let the chiles soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Once hydrated, discard the soaking water and rinse the chiles. Place in a blender.2.In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil or lard and cook the onions, occasionally stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds. Place cooked onions and garlic into the blender, along with the cumin, oregano, allspice, cinnamon, and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth.3.In the same pot that you ted to cook the onions and garlic, on medium heat brown the ground beef, stilling occasionally, about 10 minutes. If you like, you can drain the extra fat once the meat is browned. Add the chile puree and the beef broth, heat on high until boiling, and then turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 30 minutes, adjust seasoning and add salt, black pepper and cayenne to taste.4.To make the enchiladas, first preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a large baking dish. In a skillet, heat up the oil or lard on medium low heat. One at a time, heat up the tortillas in the hot oil. Keep them wrapped in a cloth or tortilla warmer until all the tortillas are heated.5.Take a heated tortilla and use tongs to dip it into the sauce. Shake off most of the sauce, but make sure that it's moist enough to be pliable. Lay the tortilla on a plate or clean cooking surface, add ¼ cup of the grated cheese down the center of it, along with a few of the diced onions. Roll the tortilla. Place rolled enchilada in the greased baking dish (seam side down) and repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining great cheese and diced onions. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbling.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
Man that would make Beli proud.

That looks great, VI! Hope my opinion counts...I'm only 3rd generation Texan. Glad to see that the sauce had plenty of meat in it. That's the way I like it. Too many places have no meat in their sauce, what's up with that? I've been meaning to check out that cookbook, your post brings me one step closer.
