Quality, not safety. If it was safe when you froze it, your great grandkids could eat it, granted it stayed froze and they don't mind some possible off odors.

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
About a month ago, I got some smoked ham I cooked in 2015 out of the freezer, it tasted like I just took it off the smoker. In vacuum packed bag. Most of the time my rule of thumb is one year. I'm not dead , nor did I get sick.
Thanks! Now I don’t feel so bad maybe trying that beef that’s been at the bottom of my chest freezer for a LONG time. Perhaps it will suck, but at least I now know it is safe to try.
Covered with water or vacuum packed. Both seal pout air and prevent freezer burn/drying. I've eaten some vac-packed venison that got lost in the freezer so long the "statute of limitations" had nearly expired and it was just fine.
