For real. 2 hours. In the winter. C’mon. People have some serious anxiety and paranoia around here

Is this a serious question?

Are you near DC right now? It’s colder outside than my refrigerator.

At current temperatures, and assuming it wasn't in a heated garage? It's fine. I have deliberately left groceries in my car at these temperatures (not raw meat, but a take & bake pizza that was too big to fit in my fridge). It's colder than my refrigerator in my car right now.

I’d definitely use it. It’s 32 outside.

I'd toss because it's ground beef. Steak is sterile on inside, but ground beef is not.

I'm pretty psycho about ground meat food safety but I would eat it after it was checked with the meat thermometer.

It was in the car for a little over 2 hours. Its cold outside but imagine the car is warmer than outside temps. Is it safe to cook?
Do you have a meat thermometer? Cook to 165 and eat some kefir/yogurt after.

I think 2 hours is fine. Smell it

I would use it. Some people in here will dissent. I have done it many times with no ill effect.

I just realized I left one bag of groceries in the car because it was the only reusable bag I had brought so I guess I overlooked it. It had two packages of meat that I was going to use to make sliders tonight.
