Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Chicken Casserole expire?
A homemade chicken casserole will typically last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator after it has been cooked. However, remember to cool it properly before refrigeration to inhibit bacterial growth which can shorten its longevity. If you choose to freeze it, the casserole can extend its lifespan up to 2 to 3 months. Unopened, store-bought casseroles' expiration will heavily depend on the printed date on the package.
How do you tell if Chicken Casserole is bad?
It's important to keep an eye, nose, and tongue out when determining if chicken casserole has gone bad. Look for changes in the casserole's color and texture. Anything that's excessively gummy, slimy, or has grown mold is a clear sign the dish has spoiled. An off or foul smell is also another clear indicator of spoilage. Lastly, if you taste the casserole and it's a bit sour or off-tasting, it's best to throw it away.
Tips for storing Chicken Casserole to extend shelf life
• Always cool down the chicken casserole thoroughly before refrigerating or freezing to avoid the growth of bacteria. • Store the chicken casserole in airtight containers to prevent exposure to other food items' odors. • If you're freezing, separate the casserole into meal-sized portions for easy thawing later. • Always reheat the casserole thoroughly before consumption. Eating cold, improperly reheated casseroles may pose a health risk. • Try to consume refrigerator-stored casseroles within their shelf life to get the best flavor and prevent spoilage.
