depends on how often you reheated it and if it was left out of the fridge and did someone pick at it and cross contaminate. If not, you're probably good for up to 5 days but no longer. Freeze the left overs for another day or another reincarnation.

three days, then it goes south.

Throw it my way...hee hee

5 days... just make sure you reheat it to 155F

no more than six days, reheat to 120 degrees if you do keep it that long

I usually go with the "3 day rule" but as long as it is covered and not exposed to air it will be just fine for upto 6 days.

Just make sure you reheat it to over 140' to kill any potential 'new friends'.

It also depends on how clean your fridge is...

If you have a LOT of nastyness in your fridge, like mine, then it will be MUCH more likely to go bad faster then a clean fridge.

As long as it smells ok and doesn't last past the week mark it is fine!

3 days if refrigerated
3 months if frozen
