    Pot Scrubber's Note:

    With only two pre-purchased products this makes a wonderful sauce. I have made sauces from scratch that weren't as good as this. Pour over purchased frozen enchiladas or burritos (or your own homemade)top with cheese and bake.Instant dinner.

    Ingredients:

    Yield:

    cups

    Units: US | Metric

    • 1 (15 ounce) can Hormel chili without beans (NO OTHER BRAND)
    • 1 (16 ounce) jar mild Pace Picante Sauce (NO OTHER BRAND, and don't confuse Pace salsa with Pace picante)

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Combine the two.
    2. 2
      You're finished!
    3. 3
      Pour over purchased frozen enchiladas or burritos (or your own homemade)and top with cheese.
    4. 4
      Bake at 350 til heated through.
    5. 5
      Tell everyone at the table you have spent years perfecting this complicated sauce.
    6. 6
      If your kids don't like "those icky green pepper things and onions" simply puree the Pace picante in a blender then add to the Hormel chili. They will never know and it also makes for a smoother texture. Additionally, I have used Hormel 99% Fat Free Turkey Chili with excellent results. Then- your enchilada sauce is almost totally fat free. Can't beat that!
