DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THIS ONE!
Summer time means road trips and vacations! Beef Jerky is the one food I don't leave home without. It's always in my bag for road trips, vacations or any fun adventure!
Why I love it!
It's shelf stable- so no need for a cooler or ice. It's protein dense which is sometime hard to get with meals on the go. It's easy to make- which not only gives you complete control over the ingredients but it's roughly 60% of the cost of retail! Making large batches and freezing it makes it so convenient so I don't end up eating other food that isn't as good for me.

Beef Jerky
- 2 lbs grass fed ground beef
- 1/4 c liquid aminos
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sage
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp paprika
Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Place 1/2 of ground beef mixture between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with garlic salt and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Place on dehydrator trays allowing for air to move between the pieces. Dehydrate at 160 degrees until desired doneness. Blot the fat off each piece with a paper towel and rotate trays evenly every hour. Allow to dry & cool completely before storing. Store in freezer for up to 6 months. Does not require refrigeration when traveling.
