Super simple and a really good sauce. I usually don't like cheese enchiladas, but these were great and so reminiscent of the enchiladas at TeePee. The only change I made was to semi-fry the tortillas, because mine kept falling apart if just dipped straight into the sauce.

I really enjoyed these enchiladas. They were pretty simple to make and tasted good. The Velveeta made them really creamy. Thanks for sharing, Dee.

We really enjoyed these enchiladas -- such a nice change from my chicken enchiladas. I made one change and that was to use beef broth vs. chicken broth as that's what I had on hand. I loved the sauce, but next time I would reduce the chili powder a little. I had leftover velveeta cheese and it was perfect with the cheddar cheese. I will definitely be making these enchiladas again. : )

We really enjoyed these enchiladas. The sauce was very easy to make. We used spanish sweet onions and we could hardly taste the onions even though I put in a lot. Moral I learned is to use regular onions in enchiladas. My DH really loved these.
