1 1/2 cups Bisquick mix
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup milk

Mix the above ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Corn Husks - Carefully remove the whole fresh green husks from approximately 6 ears of corn. Place in a bowl covered in cold water until ready to use.

2 pork sausages, skins removed and separated
1/2 lb. ground chicken
1 small onion, diced
2 ears of corn, boiled and corn cut from cob
1/2 cup drained kidney beans
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cayenne powder (more if you like it really spicy)
1 tsp. chilli powder
1/2 tsp. pepper

Combine sausage meat, ground chicken, onion, corn, beans and spices in a skillet and let cook together until meat is cooked through.

Assemble the tamales:
Spread 2-3 corn husks on a board. Take a small bit of biscuit mixture and shape into a ball (an amount a bit bigger than a golf ball). Flatten mixture with your fingers and place on top of corn husks. Spoon about 2 TBSP. of meat mixture on top of dough. Wrap corn husks around meat and dough and tie with a piece of string. (Alternately instead of tying with a string you may wrap each entire corn husk packet in a piece of tin foil.) You should have enough ingredients to make 8-9 tamale packets.

Bake tamales in the oven at 350 F for approximately 40 minutes.
