Easy Casingless Slim Jims

[NePaSmoKer]

Here is an easy slim jim recipe for those of you who use a jerky gun and dehydrator. Yeah you can use a casing to.

2 pounds of ground lean meat
1/2 tsp mace
2 1/2 Tbs. paprika
1 3/4 Tbs. ground mustard
1/4 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. red pepper
1 Tbs. corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp liq smoke Opt
1/4 tsp + a pinch cure 1 (if applying smoke)
17-19mm collagen casing (opt)

Mix together and extrude through jerky gun onto dehydrator racks.
Depending on your dehydrator times can vary 4-7hours. Be careful not to high heat or you will have jerky sticks

Thanks for the recipe Nepas I will need to try this next...

When you say lean how lean of meat are we talking? The 80/20 meat worked well for my last sticks and no casing was used ;)

And obviously omit the liquid smoke when dehydrating/smoking in the OBS..

Also what kind of temps you suggest when using the OBS? I have a convection fan so it works like a dehydrator...
