Red Chile (for burritos)

This recipe is prepared in a similar manner as the Green Chile, only a totally different taste.  Let's jump on in!

Get your meat goin'...
Season with salt...
And pepper...
Cover with foil and place in the oven for about 45 minutes. 

Should look a lil something like this!
Let your meat cool and place the meat drippings in the refrigerator for a lil while.  Skim the fat off the drippings and set it aside. 

Now get your garlic minced up:
And your onion...
And throw your diced or shredded meat in a stock pot.
Get your Red Chile Sauce ready:
Baca's is great.  You can find it in the freezer section at the store.  Yum!
Now throw your sauce in there:
Once the sauce cooks down it looks like so:
Add some flour to thicken it up:
Let it simmer on the stove for about 40 minutes. 

Enjoy it in a bowl, topped with cheese and sour cream, with a tortilla on the side.  It's also fabulous in a burrito!
Look at this stuff!
Take a bite, you earned it!
Sometimes, when I eat it in a bowl, I like to 'pinch a chile' and tear off a little bite sized portion of a tortilla, place some of the red chile/cheesy/sour creamy goodness inside of it and enjoy it bite by bite.
Yummy, another family favorite of Grandma's!

Here's the recipe... make sure you let me know how yours turns out!
