Question

Would the meat still be ok to eat if I cooked it on low for another 8 hrs after being on warm for 7 hrs?

You have essentially incubated the food for 7 hours, positively encouraging growth from any existing fauna or pathogens. You should definitely discard.

While that will kill any remaining bacteria, it won't remove their waste products which have been produced up to that point.

Please ask yourself this question: is saving a little money worth the (high) risk of getting food poisoning?
