I am making chili for my son's birthday party on Sunday. When I bought the meat, the sell-by date was today. I had been planning on making it Friday or Saturday. Is it better to make the chili today and freeze it till Saturday or freeze the meat and defrost it in time to make it Friday or Saturday. Friday would be preferable, but it also seems silly freezing meat for a day. Don't want to get anyone sick at the party.
