This is a very good sauce, easy to make, and much better than anything I've tried that comes in a can. You can use it for tamales, enchiladas or as a base for chili con carne. This makes a little over a quart. 3 T chili powder 2-1/2 T paprika 1/2 t. cumin 1/4 t. ground cloves 1/2 t. MSG 1/2 t. garlic powder 1 t. salt 2 C water 1 can beef consume 4 T flour olive oil to make a roux Combine all ingredients except flour and oil and heat to dissolve. Add roux of olive oil and flour and cook several minutes, stirring constantly.
