Just an FYI:

I made jerky from ground meat this weekend and boy is it tastey! Saved me about 3-4 hours in prep time and 12 hrs in marinating time... The dehydrator I bought came w/ a jerky gun and some trial seasonings, took me about an hr to get 2lbs of meat in the dehydrator and it was frozen when I started!!! Dried it in 5.5 hrs... I like this jerky a lot more than hand-sliced, i think because its very consistent... The dry seasoning is really easy to use.

It was so easy I think I'm going to make all my jerky from ground meat now, and in fact I'm probably going to grind a whole lot more of my deer up during processing...
