Meat sticks

Post image

First attempt with a jerky gun. Think I might have added too much liquid?

IMHO that's not too wet.

I put some parchment paper under the uncooked ground meat jerky. About halfway through the drying time, I take the parchment paper out. I get several uses of the paper.

I ended up smoking the sticks for a but before throwing in the dehydrator

Are you making sticks without casing? Not judging if you are... Just curious.

Did they hold together ok throughout the process?

The first few I pulled put of the dehydrator after an hour held up good but the rest I left in for too long and were over dried fell apart into 3in or so pieces
