- Start off by sautv ing the ground beef and onions until the beef browns and the onions become tender.
- At this point, strain the meat and drain off all but a couple tablespoons of the beef drippings.
- But keep it in reserve-you'll need it later.
- Then combine into the meat the Rotel tomatoes, the chili mix, the peeled tomatoes, the chili powder, the cumin, the water, and your salt and cayenne pepper.
- Now<U+0085> bring the mixture to a slow boil<U+0085> but as soon as the boil begins, reduce the heat to low and simmer everything together (with the cover on the pot) for about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Next, strain the meat again from the juices (but save the juices).
- Then put the meat back into the pot and stir in the cornbread mix and one cup of meat drippings you saved from the sautv ing process.
- At this point, you can adjust the\spicyness\ of the tamales by adding either more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- Then mix everything together extremely well once more<U+0085> and note- you want the tamale mixture to be moist and pasty, but not\wet\.
- Finally, place about a tablespoon of the meat stuffing into the center of a moistened tamale paper, roll the paper around the tamale, and put the rolled tamales into a deep steamer pot.
- Then ladle over the tamales all the juices and drippings you reserved during the preparation process<U+0085> and simmer everything on low for about 45 minutes.
- When you're ready to eat, serve them piping hot.
