Ok Thanks for the tip, will try next time. The recipe does call for placing them in the broth raw though and the previous times I've made this recipe they turned out great. Will give it a go to see. Thx.

thanks a mil! Okay, will do...enjoy the recipe it really is an awesome authentic Mexican recipe!

This is the recipe. Meatballs: 1 pound ground beef 1/4 Large onion finely chopped 1 egg 1/3 cup fine bread crumbs pepper salt dried basil Soup: 4 md tomatoes steamed and peeled 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 tablespoons chopped onion Blend above in blender then into pan with 1 tablespoon...

yes I always make the meatballs with the following: ground beef egg pepper and salt dried basil fine bread crumbs onion So odd that this has never happened before....going to eat them! I think they have to be cooked by now too.

Temp Don't have the temp but I did feel the inside when I cut it open the first time from the soup and it almost burned me (30 mins over simmer on a gas stove, med bubbling)....then felt the inside again after being in the oven and same thing, very hot (20 mins at 350).

Ok Ok, just fried up one of them and it sort of browned but didn't really change colour. The weird thing is that the ground beef before I cooked it wasn't really red, more light brownish. I thought maybe because I always cook the soup with the lid off that maybe this time with the lid on...

answer well...I made the meatballs myself from ground beef. Meat was from a regular grocery store. Do you think they are safe to eat? I assume that after 30 mins on the stove and then 20 mins in oven they would have to be cooked no matter what they looked like inside right?

cooking time and temp Okay, they were uncooked and not frozen when I put them in the soup. Cooked them for 30 mins in the soup, lid on. Cut 1 in half, red. Took them out and put them in the oven for 20 mins, cut 1 in half, still red.

Okay, I've made meatball soup 4 times from the same recipe and its always great. I made it again with 2 differences and the meatballs are red inside. The diff are: premade meatballs and stored in fridge uncooked and cooked with the lid on instead of off. Help?
