Ground beef not browning on inside- Pink Slime?

[Bertuzzi]

I shop at Publix which is known in this area for quality food. Super short version. I went to one Publix and got meatballs and cooked them. They browned on the inside as they are supposed to do. The one closer to my house I am always buying ground beef and cooking meatloaf or meatballs etc. The meat does not brown in the middle even when subjected to longer cooking or higher temps. I am wondering if they have been mixing pink slime into the meat or something or what is causing this. The meat is fresh not frozen. It does usually sit in my fridge overnight but don't see why that should matter.

When I make meatballs I always bake them in the oven after browning the outside in a pan, just so they cook thoroughly. Have you tried that? It also depends on how big your balls are

Did someone mention Big Balls??? Just make sure they are 100 percent pure beef!
