[xcaliber]

Got my first batch marinating over night, then I'll dehydrate tomorrow afternoon! First time with this recipe so I'm hoping for some good stuff, two pounds trimmed folks!

Gutter's need cleaning. Can you help with the trash, etc! Heck, we might even get a few hunts in! I'll know tonight if this recipe came out good, or not!

If you want to try something a little different ...hi mountain pepperoni jerky seasoning. I've made it the last 3 years and it's very addictive ( I only ask that you dont tell my late grandmother that I'm using prepackaged spices) .
I've made mine with ground venison, haven't tried with sliced meat yet.

Sounds great, I have never tried ground meat, hmmm.
This is based on a mix from Cabelas called Hunter's Blend, then per instructions from a good friend, instead of marinating it with the dry mix on it, you mix the spices in with pickle juice, and turn the Zip Lock bag over every 4-6 hours. 24 hours to marinate, 5 hours in the dehydrator, maybe 6 since I cut the pieces 3/16" thick!
If it comes out as good as my buddies, I'll let you all know, just don't tell anyone!

The following items make ground meat jerky a breeze. One caveat, your friends will belly laugh upon seeing the blaster. Problem is solved quickly once they taste the finished product.

Please post your recipe once you confirm its a good'un.

Here is the breakdown, and around 4 PM I'll let you know if it passes the taste test!

Using the Ninja Foodi, and a rack that I got from Amazon. I'll trim pieces after cooking, these are huge!

I use the required amount, and weigh the trimmed meat to 2 pounds. Dump the two mixes into a gallon size zip lock bag, dump the whole jar of pickle juice into the baggie, and mix well. Add meat, toss around real good after closing the bag, turn every 4-6 hours for 24 hours.

Load the rack up, and place in the Foodi for 5 hours at 150 F. Check, add more time depending on your preferences, and thickness of meat. I slice mine about 3/16" thick before cooking!

Don't forget to blot the meat to remove excess juices.

Oh, forgot, two ounces of 312 Wheat Beer! The other 10 ounces goes down the hatch!

I tried making it out of pressed ground meat in the dehydrator pretty thin .but then smoking it when dry enough. Was really good....easy chewing

I like to pretend I'm Clint Eastwood when I bite a nip of jerky!

Looks great, tastes better. I had to cook about 60% of the batch 1.25 hours more, and will report back! This is a bit chewy, the way I like it, and after to munch on it for a few seconds, the pickle flavor comes on, and the spice just a little more the more you chew. Easy, and worth the try. This setup gives you a good yield too!

Mmmm, looks nice, if you send some North I share it with Chris and Jeff
