Ingredients:

3 lbs.	Ground meat

4	Onions put into a blender or food processor with tomato sauce
2 tsp.	Garlic powder
½ tsp.	Of black or white pepper
½ cup	Corn meal
4 tsp.	Cumin (cominos)

Sauce: While preparing tamales, let sauce be simmering. Sauce consists of 3-4 qts. water, 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, 2 oz. bottle of chili powder and 3 tsp. of cumin. A little paprika may be added.

1.       Prepare tamale mixture in a large mixing bowl or pot.

2.       knead well by hand.

3.       All ingredients must be mixed together very well.

4.       Take about 1 tbsp. at a time, roll in an oblong ball, and then roll in yellow corn meal; wrap in papers especially for hot tamales.

5.       Soak papers in a small amount of water to soften so they will be easier too work with.

6.       After all tamales have been rolled, put in a turkey roaster, layered in opposite directions.

7.       Pour boiling sauce mixture over all tamales.

8.       Place turkey roaster over two burners on top of stove.

9.       Simmer 2 hrs. with cover on.

10.   This makes about 8-9 dozen tamales depending on individual size.
