Dehydrate Hamburger

This is pretty easy and will keep for ~one year in the freezer.

Buy the leanest hamburger meat that you can find. Cook until completely done. Many people have told me to rinse the meat after cooking but I find that it removes more flavor than grease. It is really important to remove as much grease from the meat as possible. Drain thoroughly. Drain again. Pat dry with paper towel. Place meat in dehydrator. You will need to place this on either a "fruit rollup tray" or parchment paper to keep it from falling through the holes in the dehydrator. Dry until it resembles aquarium gravel. It will not hurt to over dry but you DO NOT want this under dried. When complete, I place in Ziploc bag and put bag in freezer. I add to my meals as I am preparing for each trip.

~Happy Trails!
