Tamale Balls

2 lbs Ground Meat
2lbs Jimmy Dean regular pork sausage
3 cups Yellow Corn Meal
1 cup Flour plain
1 1/2 cups V-8
2 tsp Garlic Powder
5 tsp Chili Powder
4 tsp Cumin Powder
2 tsp Salt
3 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Mix all ingredients together very well.  Roll into balls.  Drop balls into hot bubbly sauce a couple at a time.  Cook on Medium-Low heat for 45-60 Minutes.  Don’t stir.  Just let them simmer for the cook time.

Tamale Ball Sauce
10 cups V-8
4 tsp Chili Powder
4 tsp Cumin
4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cayenne

Note:
tsp = teaspoon
Cayenne Pepper can be cut back if you are feeding a bunch of sissies.  Or, add a couple more teaspoons in the sauce and tamales themselves if you are not a girly man.
