Tamale Meatballs image

Was in the mood for something a little different to do with some ground beef. I came across this recipe. It was totally the answer to my prayers and so very good. I could practically live on them. Everyone enjoyed them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs fell apart when I was cooking them. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover tamale masa. They're also a great appetizer or party food.

These meatballs were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, like a cup of broth.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these meatballs with black beans instead of ground beef. They were still delicious!

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I had a hard time finding tamale masa at my local grocery store, so I used cornmeal instead. The meatballs still turned out great!

These meatballs were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
