Orchid, do you have a ranchero sauce recipe you like? I think you mentioned

Well-known member
in another thread that you make it and freeze it? I'm looking for a good sauce to accompany huevos rancheros.

 
Sure Pat, here you go. I don't know where I got this because I didn't note that.>>>

I really think it was Cooking Light but I just did a search of their site and they don't show it. So then I thought it must be Bon Appetit but same thing there. Anyway, here it is. We really like the flavor and I portion out amounts for 2 and freeze. It freezes great. I like to take the time to make something and then be able to pull it out of the freezer whenever we want to have it again. Hope you enjoy.

I tried it this morning. It's really good, thanks!

I doubled the recipe, and then divided it into the twelve cups of a muffin tin to freeze. All set for company breakfasts now, thanks to you. They are going to be so impressed!
