This is a rather involved recipe with lots of step-by-step directions and photos.
I originally posted this recipe way back in 2008 when I used my crockpot everyday for a year --
and since then I've made quite a few varieties of tamales. You do not have to have them meat-filled if you'd prefer vegetarian.
You can also absolutely use whatever leftover pot roast or other meat you have in the fridge/freezer.
The meat HAS TO BE COOKED. This is not a recipe for raw meat. The slow cooker is being used to cook the masa, and heat through the filling.
Do not be intimidated --- I *promise* it's not all that hard, and it's a really fun activity to do with your family.
Enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!
have a great afternoon, and a very happy FRIDAY EVE (😀)
