Notes
Cool any leftover Bolognese within 2 hours and store in the fridge for 2 days… or freeze for 3-6 months. When ready to use, defrost leftover Bolognese overnight in the fridge and reheat gently in a pan until piping hot.
Food Safety: Even if the mince was previously frozen, the cooked leftovers can still be frozen! Make sure any defrosted leftovers are used within 24 hours and only reheated once.
