Safe to eat?

Three second rule.
If within a full three seconds ( no skimping, must say one Mississippi...) no mold or maggots seen, eat it.

@bachophile Or he can eat a tiny spoonful and when he doesn't die, eat the rest.

Well?
It's in the freezer.
I'll let you know when I thaw it and cook it (again). I figure I'll 350 for an hour or so. That should kill anything, right?
Instapot it. Ought to kill most anything, except some spores.

Now there's a thought. But...it's already cooked!
So, thaw then Instapot? For how long?
Put it into the pot frozen? For how long?
Personally, I think it's good, even without the Instapot. I'm thinking heat + pressure = autoclave. But anything approaching that will mush it. Just a SWAG, but maybe thaw it and instapot it long enough to achieve a desired temp for a few minutes under pressure, but not enough to turn it into cat food.
Sometimes, ya just gotta let go, and let God.

Well, the thing is, it's not like it sat out in the open in a pot for 7 hours.
I put the leftovers into a bag, and then vacuum sealed the bag while it was still warm. It sat in a vacuum sealed bag for 7 hours, and then frozen.
That's why I'm thinking it's OK.

I would have no problem eating it.
If you make a big pot of seafood gumbo and put the leftovers in the frig while still hot, you'll ruin it. It has to cool to room temp. Sometimes, that takes a few hours.
Been doing that all my life.

As compared to a bad case of food poisoning? No contest. If you think it might be bad the investment is already gone. How much cost could it be anyway? $10? $20? Is it worth the risk?
As for the moron part, I have left food out overnight a number of times and no, I just feel ...human.

Are dogs different?
Our dog was feasting on a deer leg the other day and we didn’t worry about it because we’ve seen this movie so many times and nothing ever happens.
Any food poisoning I’ve ever had is never cooked food we made or food passed the expiration date. Smelling it has always worked well for me.

Dogs can eat stuff that would put you in intensive care.
