To maximize the shelf life of cooked ground beef for safety and quality, refrigerate the ground beef in shallow airtight containers or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Properly stored, cooked ground beef will last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. To further extend the shelf life of cooked ground beef, freeze it; freeze in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or freezer wrap.
uncooked ground beef can be kept in fridge well covered for about 5 days or until the bad smell of it tells you to throw it out. But the expiration date on package should also be noted. It isn't going to be safe to eat until it is cooked. For best quality, ground beef should be cooked within 2 days of purchase. Fre â¦ eze the meat if you won't be able to use it in that time frame. If your fridge has a super-chill drawer, you might get an extra day or two before it starts to turn.
