why is it if I cook something that’s about to go bad, it extends its shelf life?

For example, I have ground beef that’s turning bad. I cook it, and now its ok to eat the spaghetti Bolognese you made with it for the next three days?

Most food doesn’t “go bad,” it just “tastes bad” after some time.

Meat that has been frozen for a year in the freezer will become freezer burned and taste like cardboard, but it can still be consumed.

Cooking it will kill the bacteria, so it won’t spoil as fast, but it can still taste bad.
