Title: Ground Beef Jerky
Post by: shawn116 on September 09, 2013, 12:19:12 PM

Yummm!!  And you can control what goes in it   ;)

Ground beef jerky

1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon reduced sugar ketchup
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Combined all ingredients and chill for 4 hours.
Spoon 1 TBS balls and mash between plastic wrap to make disks about 1/8 inch thick.
Put in dehydrator using your dehydrator instructions for making jerky.  Or you can use your oven (in oven at lowest temp setting 160 - 180 °F with the door ajar) Be sure to turn your jerky halfway through.  

Here is another great one  ;D  http://wellnessmama.com/2201/ground-beef-jerky/ (http://wellnessmama.com/2201/ground-beef-jerky/)  And I really like this one http://yourlighterside.com/2009/05/beef-jerky-recipes-2/ (http://yourlighterside.com/2009/05/beef-jerky-recipes-2/)

Happy snacking  ;)

I changed the temps for the oven method.  It makes sense to me that you would want to be careful because of the risk of e-coli   Here is a good source that explains how to use the oven http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071105140835AA48nnK (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071105140835AA48nnK)

Is it sweet?

I don't think so Umpa.  I have seen some however that call for brown sugar.  Of course we would replace that but I would think it would be sweet.  You really can make any flavor you like here.  Fairly inexpensive to make too  :)

That looks great, Shawn! :) :) :)

I was thinking maybe add some FTS Zero and Liquid Smoke.
As the weather cools, it's time for oven experiments! ;)
