Mexicali Tamale Balls Mexican Meatballs In

    I love meatballs. I wanted to find an alternative to the classic Italian or Swedish meatballs, so I thought that this would do. I doubled the recipe and followed it EXACTLY....epic FAIL! I am sorry, as soon as I gently folded the meatballs into the sauce, they fell apart! I ended up stirring it all together into this soft-ish meat mixture. The flavors were good and I had spent $14 on meat so I didn't want to just toss it. So I decided to put the mixture into a baking dish and topping it with cornbread for a tamale pie. I am disappointed that the meatballs didn't work, but i should have followed my first mind and pan fried them til brown before adding them to the sauce.
