'We made some buffalo jerky with the Nesco Jerky Works Jumbo Kit. It\'s a jerky gun that squirts ground meat out consistently so you can dry it in a dehydrator or in the oven. We used 2 1/2 lbs of ground bison 90% meat 10% fat - it\'s quite lean and makes very tasty jerky! I have done many types of Beef Jerky in the past and this process would be the same for ground beef, or what ever ground meat use choose to use. The kit we got had two starter packs of seasoning and cure. I have made my own in the past, but we tried this since it has had favorable reviews. We used one packet set and separated the meat into three batches. One regular jerky, one spicy jerky, and one pemmican style with dried berries in it. We experimented with each of the three extruder tips so we could easily tell the finished jerky apart. I found that the meat clogged a bit from time to time, so if you can, have your meat ground quite fine. We found that using a sheet of bakers parchment was useful to transfer the wide strips to the dehydrator tray, while the smaller tips were a bit easier to keep flowing consistently. We used the Nesco dehydrator on 160 degrees f for about 8 hours total changing the order of the trays at the 4 hour mark. You could do this in an oven as well on mesh screens if you can get the temp to 160 degrees f. I have used the Nesco dehydrator for making dried fruits and jerky for some time. It is easy to clean, has good air flow and hasn\'t burnt out on me yet! Use these affiliate links to get your own jerky products.
