This is an ok recipe; I made some changes but not quite enough. It is a pretty spicy recipe and while my husband, dad, and son liked it ok, the ladies were not has happy with it. I know for sure that I wouldn't use any hot sauce in the sauce at all. I added a can of tomatoes and a little hot sauce but I think it would be better with just a large can of maybe fire roasted tomatoes. I also think it could use less of the spicy cheese and maybe even add a little colby or something. Enchilada sauce is so salty and I might look into a different kind of sauce for this recipe. We prefer Rachel Ray's version of this recipe.06/20/09
