Years ago I remember eating jerky made out of hamburger by a co-worker. Any of you guys got a food recipe for making jerky out of beef or deer hamburger?

Hamburger jerky scares me! Too many folks have gotten way too ill from it. Ground meat has way too much surface area and way too much questionable stuff in it.

And then there is the issue of rancid fat.

I use only lean muscles sliced cross-grain, brined and hit with a little smoke.

I don't have the recipe, but my cousin's wife used to make some excellent summer sausage rolls out of hamburger for holiday parties, sliced and served with mustard/sauces. She cooked it very low and slow in the oven. It was always refrigerated. You might check in that direction. Good luck.

Lots of bacteria in most ground meat... it sits around during the cutting operation and then gets chopped into little bitty pieces spreading that bacteria... Fat is not good in jerky for a lot of reasons, including the fact it slows down the drying tremendously. Homemade jerky is plenty risky enough... give me whole meat chunks...

Made it and ate it for years. Shipped it to my boys in the Middle East. Nobody ever got sick. I have my burger ground with no added tallow and all fat removed. No problems! EVER!

Shoot me a PM and I will type in my recipe. Not that it is a secret but simply because I would hate for anyone to get inadvertantly ill!

It sure doesn't hurt any if you can grind your own meat. I know cabelas used to sell a shooter gadget to make ground meat jerky. You may want to search the forum as I'm pretty sure there was a thread about this in the past with recipes.
Compared to what our guys get stuck eating in the middle east jerky has to be an absolute treat.
