My Sunday stew is warming on the stove right now. Smells delicious. I had to work in the office today so I love not cooking.

If it tastes fine yes. If it doesn’t no.

I usually try to freeze within 4 days but 5 is usually fine too.

For what it’s worth, I think it should go in the trash now.


I'm pp who said it was totally fine to freeze it but I also have a rule about not keeping food that I know damn well I will not eat (restaurant leftovers I'm looking at you) just because I feel bad about wasting it.

Totally fine!!!! Bring it to a boil once more when you reheat it. People are neurotic.

As long as the stew has been in the fridge for the past 5 days and not reheated/cooled multiple times during that stretch, it's totally fine to freeze. Warm it up thoroughly after it's out of the freezer and you're golden.

I made beef stew Sunday. I plan to finish it tomorrow night. If you never hear from me again...you will know why.

Freeze it and let your husband eat it. I think it’s fine. Cooked beef in stew takes a while to go bad.

I made it Friday evening. I think it’s too late, husband says it’s ok. I’d like to save it if I can, but really not sure if it’s safe.
