"Turned out terrific! A lot of work but not too difficult or overly complicated...just time consuming. This is one of those recipes where all that time spent is well worth it. I did as another review suggested and used the filling from this recipe with the dough from the turkey tamales featured in the same episode. I ended up with slightly more filling than dough so I will probably make more dough next time I make these. As for the people that are saying that the dough is just too bland, I have seen some recipes that add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients when making the dough to spice it up a bit. This may work. Although I think the dough from the turkey tamales recipe complimented this spicy pork filling really well. All in all a great recipe to make over a weekend for a big Sunday dinner or to freeze and have great leftovers to take to work for your lunch (yum)."
