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.
Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately. Do not refreeze raw ground meat thawed in cold water or in the microwave oven unless you cook it first. Never leave ground beef or any perishable food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour at 90 Â°F and above). Is it dangerous to eat raw or undercooked ground beef? Yes.
