Step 3

spread the ground meat on a baking sheet, cover with wax paper, and roll with a rolling pin until meat is ¼" thick

Step 4

Slice the pan of beef into jerky strips 4-5" long and 1" wide and place on dehydrator trays or cooling racks

Step 5

Dry on high in a dehydrator or in a 200°F oven for 3-5 hours until finished. Place a wooden spoon in the door of the oven to prop it open allowing moisture to escape.

Step 6

Ground jerky is finished when it first starts becoming dry to the touch. It should bend without breaking in half. If it cracks in half when bent a little bit, it was over dried

Step 7

Use scissors to cut the jerky strips into 1" square treats.
