how long can you store cooked meat
Red meat and pork can remain in the refrigerator up to 5 days and can be frozen for 4-12 months. Leftover cooked meat will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator and 2-6 months in the freezer. Ground meats (beef, veal, pork, or poultry) can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and frozen for 3-4 months. Lunchmeats and hot dogs will last two weeks in the refrigerator unopened and should be eaten within 3-5 days of opening (hot dogs can go a couple of days longer). In the freezer theyâll last 1-2 months. Bacon is safe to eat for up to a week in the fridgeâbut raw sausage should be eaten within two days. Both can be frozen for a month, and some sausage will freeze for twice as long.
