Hickory Bacon Beef Jerky

Submitted By: Clif
January 25, 2010
I love making beef jerky.  I love bacon.  I was looking for new flavors for my beef jerky and found J&Ds Hickory Bacon Salt at the store.  You'll need a mixing bowl, a jerky gun, and a food dehydrator.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (leaner is better)
2 tsp jerky cure
3 tsp Hickory Bacon Salt

optional:
3 tsp powdered white cheddar cheese

Directions
Mix all ingredients into ground beef until completely blended (approx 5 minutes squishing it thoroughly by hand).  Wash your hands and preparation area well before and after handling the meat!  Refrigerate for 4-5 hours or overnight.  Form into strips with a jerky gun and place onto dehydrator trays.  Dehydrate on high setting for 3.5 to 4 hours.  Should be somewhat tough but not brittle or hard to chew.  Pat off extra fat with paper towels.  (Less fat equals longer storage time.)  I like to put a handful of strips in vacuum sealed bags.  One pound of ground beef makes 5-6 small packages of beef jerky!  Use the cheddar cheese powder to make your jerky taste like a bacon cheeseburger!!!
