Additionally, if there's any visible mold, discoloration or slimy texture, that's another sure-fire sign that your Sloppy Joes have overstayed their welcome.
Tips for storing Sloppy Joes to extend shelf life
• Always store Sloppy Joes in a tightly-sealed container to keep out air and contaminants. • If you're freezing a batch of Sloppy Joes, divide it into meal-sized portions before freezing. This makes it easier to thaw and consume in the right quantity, avoiding unnecessary waste. • Avoid constant temperature fluctuations as it can worsen the quality of the food. • If you're using pre-made sloppy joe mix, once the can is open, transfer any unused portion to a non-metal, airtight container and refrigerate. • When reheating, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit to kill any potential bacteria.
