Can you throw raw hamurger in chili to cook?

[babyboyborn7/20/09]

My uncle made chili for dinner and didn't fry the hamburger,he just threw little balls of raw meat in and cooked it for 20 minutes.It's brown,but would it be ok to eat?

got to say no. besides you want to drain all that fat first but if no pink in those balls it should be fine

As long as there is no pink color, it's okay. By not browning the meat in a separate skillet first, he lost the opportunity to enhance the flavor.
