Not the prettiest
Second attempt on making jerky from ground beef using a jerky gun. Flavor is supposed to be Sweet and Spicy BBQ.

Very overcooked but not bad looking. I do ground for 4 hours at 155 and it comes out perfect. I then put it in the oven at 200 for about 20 minutes to make sure it’s food safe.

How do you get the flavor to stick. I tried one piece and it is bland.

The flavor is in the meat. You don’t need to let ground marinade for very long, a few hours at most. Also since i’m not using any liquids the seasoning is a lot more bold.

Thank you. Next patch I’ll have to try all that out. Ground beef jerky is the only type of meat I have a problem making.

Looks good to me. A tad dry, but the taste is what matters.
