Step 1

In a bowl, combine the 1lb of ground beef with the other ingredients

Step 2

Mix the ground beef and seasonings thoroughly

Step 3

If using a jerky gun, load the gun with the ground beef mixture & shoot 4-5" long strips onto a dehydrator tray or on a baking sheet

Step 4

If not using a jerky gun, spread the ground meat on a baking sheet, cover with wax paper, and roll with a rolling pin until meat is 1/4" thick

Step 5

Slice the pan of beef into jerky strips 4-5" long and 1" thick

Step 6

Dry with your favorite jerky making method. I used a dehydrator at 160F for 3 1/2 hours

Step 7

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
