Default Enchilada Sauce

Anyone have a great receipe for homemade(using dried chile peppers) red enchilada sauce. I have experimented using a combination of both Calif. and New Mexico dried chiles, soaked first in hot water, then put into a blender with chicken stock and a little salt. Sometimes maybe a little sugar also.

Thanks sounds good. I use to make my sauce just using the water that was left over after soaking the dried chiles. I found that using chicken stock instead, added extra flavor.

Our enchilada sauce we use:

16 oz tomato sauce
2 oz chopped chili peppers (more or less depending on your taste)
1 cup of onions, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced

Combine all the ingredients and puree in a blender. Place in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until heated thoroughly, usually about 5 minutes or so.

Your chile peppers, I hope, are dried and not the canned variety?
