Answer: Youâve got some breathing room. Ground beef thatâs been defrosted in the fridge can be safely kept for an additional one to two days in the refrigerator before cooking, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And since you thawed the ground beef in the fridge, you can also safely refreeze it within that same timeframe, says the USDA.
Also, grinding allows any bacteria present on the surface to be mixed throughout the meat. Bacteria multiply rapidly in the Danger Zone â temperatures between 40 and 140 Â°F (4.4 and 60 Â°C). To keep bacterial levels low, store ground beef at 40 Â°F (4.4 Â°C) or below and use within 2 days, or freeze. Never leave ground beef or any perishable food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours â 1 hour at 90 Â°F (32.2 Â°C) and above.
