How to Make Beef Jerky

It is not always cheaper to make home made beef jerky but if you get your meat on sale and purchase bulk you'll be able to make great beef jerky and have meat left over for other dinners. I have been making beef jerky for years with a plastic food dehydrator & jerky maker that I believe I bought for around $50.00. It is much cheaper then buying beef jerky all ready prepared at the store. You don't have a lot of prep time and it is easy and fun. The aroma while it is hydrating is wonderful. For the healthy people out there you can turn your apples, peaches, watermelon, and other fruits into a healthy snack for your children when you go on trips, camping, or for Friday movie nights.
