  For those who are seriously consider making these, a few more tips. <br>*Go ahead &amp; make the filling a day before, it makes the assembling easier. Even more important if you won&apos;t have multiple hands to help you.<br>*You can use also use turkey, beef and chicken if that&apos;s what you have. <br>*For maximum flavor in the filling, throw the filling &amp; sauce back into a skillet &amp; cook together. It just doesn&apos;t taste as good if you simply toss them together.<br>*Also, add some chili sauce into the mass for added flavor 😋. Josh&apos;s is pretty blonde but ours come out nice &amp; red.<br>*It is important to have air bubble in your Masa. To check if you&apos;ve mixed enough, have a glass of water &amp; drop a spoonful to see if it floats. Once it does, you&apos;re good to go.<br>*Yes the ties are extra work but it&apos;s worth it when you&apos;re putting them in the pot. It&apos;s a pain to be hassling with the tips getting in the way.<br>*when cooking if you have a vegetable steaming tray, use it! If you don&apos;t you can use the extra bits of leaves, balled up foil paper, a trivet, or a combination to keep the tamales off the bottom of the pan or you&apos;ll burn them or make them soggy from the water. (Yes, I speak from experience.😳)

  The bottom of Josh&apos;s dutch oven looks like it was last cleaned during World War I.
