I do this with ground beef meat (10 % fat). I store *above* the fridge
(There is a kind of cupboard there, and the warm dry air from the fridge
passes there) together with jerky and other dried food. It keeps at least
a month. After 2-3 months the taste has deteriorated somewhat.
I think it is safer to store dry (to avoid mould) than cold.
