I make this stuff up, it's more addicting than potato chips, just can't eat one piece. Forget about taking it to work, your coworkers will turn into animals and knock you over for a piece of jerky!

This recipe uses ground meat, a jerky gun and dehydrator. This makes a good size batch, that will fit a regular dehydrator. If this makes too much, only dry half the batch at a time and refrigerate rest until you can dry it too.

3 # ground Venison
1/4 c. soy sauce
3/4 c. teriyaki sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 c. water
2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground Red Pepper
1 Tablespoon Morton curing salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Instructions: I use plain ground venison, I tried pork mix / beef mix, both had a greasy finished product that was unappealing. Thaw and drain meat, put in large glass or plastic bowl. In another bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Make sure you stir it really well to dissolve dry stuff. Pour it over meat, and kinda stir it all together. Work out any air bubbles that you can, smooth out surface with a spoon to ensure good marinade contact. Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, up to 24 hours. When you remove from fridge, all the liquid will be absorbed into meat. Stir it up again. Use a jerky gun to shoot in onto the trays. Follow your machines directions about time, but mine takes about 10 hours to dry properly. My dehydrator is an American Harvest Snackmaster, works just fine for jerky (never used for anything else) Once this stuff is done, cool it completely, store in Ziploc bags and it is shelf safe until ya finish it off! Enjoy!
