In a bowl, combine ingredients and add to 1lb of ground beef
Mix the ground beef and seasonings thoroughly
Spread the ground meat on a baking sheet, cover with wax paper, and roll with a rolling pin until meat is ¼" thick
Slice the pan of beef into jerky strips 4-5" long and 1" wide and place on dehydrator trays or cooling racks
Dry on high in a dehydrator or in a 200°F oven for 3-5 hours until finished. Place a wooden spoon in the door of the oven to prop it open allowing moisture to escape.
Ground jerky is finished when it first starts becoming dry to the touch. It should bend without breaking in half. If it cracks in half when bent a little bit, it was over dried
Use scissors to cut the jerky strips into 1" square treats.
