Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl combine the first 11 ingredients to form tamale balls.
- 2. Form into 1" balls and set aside.
- 3. In a large pot combine the remaining ingredients for tamale ball sauce.
- 4. Add formed balls to sauce and cook over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until tamale balls are fully cooked. Tamale balls will increase in size due to the cornmeal and become like a tamale.
- 5. Alternate Cooking Directions: Follow steps one and two, and then combine sauce in a large slow cooker and add formed balls. Cook on high for five to six hours or until tamale balls are fully cooked.
