    This recipe is awesome go on the low side for the cayenne pepper if you or your wife does not like it a little spicy. I freeze the meat then use a meat slicer before marinading. I also use a dehydrator to cook the meat, just be sure it has a fan or you will be waiting forever.

    I have made at least 7 batches of a min. of 3 lbs each and it is awesome. Taking some (a huge bag) to a class reunion in Indiana next month.

    I am surprised this was the first and only one I have yet tried!
    Hey, don’t fix it if it ain’t broke!

    Can this recipe be used with ground meat? If so how would you do so?

    This recipe was great! I used ground turkey, and it turned out great. Very characteristic jerky taste.

    @Susan-to use ground meat, ground meat can be used, and it’s easiest to use in a meat gun. It’s important to remember that ground meat takes less time than usual.

    I use the Nesco Harvest meat gun, and it works well.

    Drew,

    Are you saying I can use any “wet” recipe for ground beef? I am using the Nesco dehydrator and love it but have only been using their spice packs. I want to use a recipe but it seems most are geared towards sliced meat.

    Thanks, R-

    Hi Ron,

    Sorry for the super late response, but I use the “wet” recipes for any kind of ground meat. I do try to strain it a little bit as I put it into the gun.

    If you use ground meat, does it need to marinate for 24 hours or use it as soon as it is mixed.

    I found this recipe several months ago and haven’t tried another since. I make about 5 lbs every other week, most of which I give away to others. This is not only the best jerky I have eaten, it is what EVERYONE whom I’ve given some to also claim to be the best jerky they’ve ever had.

    I modify the recipe on occasion to add more heat, as I’m a fan of heat. I add cayenne hot pepper sauce (4 or so ounces) and Sriracha (roughly 4 ounces). After they are done I sprinkle a little red pepper flake on them. This adds the perfect amount of heat for me.
