how long to store cook ground beef in fridge?
Due to the natural nitrate content of meatloaf ingredients such as onions and celery, meatloaf may appear pink in the center even when an internal temperature of 160 F has been reached. If ground beef is refrigerated promptly after cooking, it can be safely refrigerated for about 3 or 4 days. If frozen, it should keep its quality for about 4 months. When reheating fully cooked patties or casseroles containing ground beef, be sure the internal temperature reaches 165 F or it is hot and steaming.
