Can you clarify? I read this as you did not use all the RAW ground beef and that is what is in the fridge. I would not chance using if it has been in there for 3 days. Sorry...
I copied and pasted this from the USDA food safety website: Can I refrigerate or freeze leftover cooked hamburgers? How should they be reheated? If ground beef is refrigerated promptly after cooking (within 2 hours; 1 hour if the temperature is above 90 °F), it can be safely refrigerated for about 3 or 4 days. If frozen, it should keep its quality for about 4 months. When reheating fully cooked patties or casseroles containing ground beef, be sure the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (73.9 °C).
