Left a pot of tomato meat sauce out overnight. It's still good, right?

Slow cooked this thing for six hours yesterday and then used some for lasagna last night. Of course I left the rest of it out overnight. Enough for another night of pasta.
Who else is in the 'still gonna eat it' camp? Not letting it go to waste.

You can cook lasagna with fancy meat sauce but don't even know if that meat sauce will be good the next day bc you left it out? Hmmmm

Bring it to a boil. You are good.

Thats a negative, ghost rider.

Just reheat it and eat it. Don’t be a bitch.

Reheat to 170°. Bacteria dies. You're good.
Taverns used to keep the pot cooking year round and add food as they got it.

All good. You’d be amazed at how much crap you can eat that sits out.

If the lid was on it, reheat it and go. I probably would have put it in the fridge this morning though.

Yeah it’s fine. But I will also eat foods a couple weeks past their best by date, so I’m a bit of a loose cannon….

Eat it. If you get the fois, it wasn't good.

According to food science you should toss it. Even if you kill the bacteria you can still have toxins. But I have eaten some pretty questionable stuff, it will most likely be fine. Roll the dice.

We do this every time we make our sauce, cook it all day on a Saturday, turn off the stove at bedtime, reheat Sunday just before for the family. It's perfectly fine.
ETA, we do keep it covered.

Absolutely correct.
Will you get sick? Maybe.
Can you get sick? Absolutely.
Will you not get sick? Maybe.
Can you be just fine? Absolutely.
The science guarantees bacteria could grown in that environment. Was there bacteria there to grow (and grow to the appropriate level to get you sick)? We don’t know. But if it was there, yes it grew.

I did this once with a pot of red beans
Cooked it. Ate it for dinner. Forgot to put in the fridge.
Was on my countertop the next morning.
Idk I didn’t risk it and I tossed the whole thing. Broke my heart.
But honestly you can probably get away with it.
