jerky made from burger

[klemsontigers7]

I enjoy making jerky about 10 times a year but sometims I want something different than the whole pieces of meat.  I have a Jerky Gun that lets you make jerky out of burger and it is pretty good.  Does anyone have any recipes for seasoning?  I know some things that would taste good I just do not want to over or under season the jerky.  Please give me a recipe for a per pound basis.  I know they make the powder for mixing with the burger but that can be expensive.  Thanks.

I did a search and found this post.  I was looking for jerky recipes as well.

I have never tried this but it sounds good.

Garlic Smoked Venison Jerky

When smoking pork shoulder for pulled pork I usually toss several whole bulbs of garlic into the hot coals. The garlicky smoke produced adds a unique flavor to the pork. The technique works well for jerky, too. This one is a ground venison jerky recipe.

5 pounds ground venison
2 tablespoons canning salt
2 teaspoons Tender Quick®
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3 bulbs garlic

Combine the salt and Tender Quick® with the ground venison, mixing thoroughly. Rest this mixture in the refrigerator for two days, re-mixing the meat a couple times a day. Add the rest of the ingredients before the last mixing session, mixing well. Allow the seasoned mixture another two hours of resting time before smoke-drying.

Fire up the charcoal or wood smoker and bring it up to temperature. Lightly oil the smoker racks with cooking oil spray. Form the ground venison jerky with a shooter or rolling pin, then place onto the racks. Add an entire bulb of garlic to the hot coals at two hour intervals. Dry the jerky six hours, or until done.

I make all of my jerky from ground venison.  My favorite is to mix Dale's marinade with Everglades seasoning.

That smoked recipe above sounds good, though.
