Made these Tamale Meatballs last night - they were much enjoyed with a side dish of sautéed zucchini and yellow squash seasoned with Mrs. Dash's chipotle seasoning. For the supper dish I made them a little bigger - about 1 1/2 inches. They reheated in the microwave for an appie before Sunday dinner today. I'm sure I'll make these again. Thanks for the recipe.
