Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 1/2 lb ground pork
1 1/2 c corn meal
3/4 c apple juice
1/2 c flour
2 tsp garlic powder
3 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp cajun seasoning
60 oz V8 Juice
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp sugar

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.

These tamale balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture to the filling next time.

These tamale balls are a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I also like to add some vegetables to the filling, like corn or black beans.

I love that these tamale balls can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them. It makes them a great option for busy weeknights.

These tamale balls are so delicious and flavorful. The masa harina gives them a slightly nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the filling.
