WWSND-Chili

[alias]

I made a huge batch of chili last night, put it in various Tupperware and left it on the counter to cool before putting in the fridge/freezer. Then firgit and went to bed. Sat out about8 hours, was very hot at the beginning. Keep or toss?

Meat in the danger zone for more than 4 hours is dead. I'm sorry!

Does chili boil? I've done that with chicken soup, and just reboiled it for x number of minutes.

Chili is a lot more meat, though. I don't know what I'd do.

It is soupy. Not traditional chili.

This. 

I'd heat it up super hot and eat it.

Yeah, I think if you can boil it for 10min you'd be ok.  I just did a quick search for a few bacteria and I think most seem to die above 65-70C (boiling of water is 100C).  The key would be to make sure the meat gets cooked through again basically.

I would hate to throw out all that food, so I feel you.
