Ingredients

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.
