Mouthwatering Homemade Tamale Balls Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I really loved the taste of these meatballs and the idea of using enchilada/tomato sauce to cover them in a chafing dish. The only problem was that the meatballs fell apart after cooking them. I think next time I will add some grated cheese and a bit more cornbread to the meatballs to help hold them together. I will definitely try them again. Made for the Tailgating tag, September, 2011.

    Tamale Balls, This was in my local paper, from a PTA member Easy to put together and very popular on a buffet I have put the pan directly from the oven on the buffet table (after adding the sauce and cheese) They were gone before they got cold I like them spicy so I add so cayenne to the ball mixture , I really loved the taste of these meatballs and the idea of using enchilada/tomato sauce to cover them in a chafing dish The only problem was that the meatballs fell apart after cooking them I think next time I will add some grated cheese and a bit more cornbread to the meatballs to help hold them together I will definitely try them again Made for the Tailgating tag, September, 2011 , This was in my local paper, from a PTA member Easy to put together and very popular on a buffet I have put the pan directly from the oven on the buffet table (after adding the sauce and cheese) They were gone before they got cold I like them spicy so I add so cayenne to the ball mixture
