Okay, so this weekend I went out and bought me a nice foodsaver vacuum bag system, and a bunch of tri-tip and strip that was on sale. I went through two rolls of bagging stock, then bought a pork loin and a bunch of chicken breast and made up 5 dozen tamales and bagged them. Now my freezer is stuffed, the wife says I can't buy anymore food until we get rid of what I already have. In the meantime, I am planning on rebagging a bunch of ziploc'd bags of food in the freezer.

I named my tamale recipe "Big Ben's carne chango tamales". I haven't finished transcribing my notes, I pretty much perfected the recipe as I went.

Anyone here know what carne chango is? In my recipe, pork loin and chicken breast are a substitute.
