How would I freeze king ranch chicken casserole?
Check out Cabela'sThey have a good selection of seasonings/cures for jerkeyYou can either slice strips of the muscle off or grind it and form it into strips (which is what I usually do)Then you can either dry it in an dehydrator or an ovenI use the Jerky Pistol from Cabela's, with either Cabela's or Hi-Mountain seasoning/cure and the drying racks that came with the Jerky Pistol kitUsually takes a couple hours at 150-200 F with varrying times for curing (sitting with the seasoning/cure on the meat).
new fda guidelines say that any wild game should be pre cooked to a temp of 150 degree's before it is dried for jerkyThis is to kill the parasites now prevelent in wild gameThen, slice thin, soak in the marinade of your choiceI have several types I makesoak at least overnight and keep it covered and refrigeratedThen either use a dehydrator or your ovenIf you use the oven, place foil on the bottom rack at it's lowest settingThen using toothpicks, suspend the the meat slices from the top rack set at it's highest settingA gas oven can be left with just the pilot light on, or on the lowest settingIf using an electric oven, use it's lowest settingsit will take all day at least to dry that wayA dehydrator takes overnightA smoker gives a better flavor, but it is sometimes difficult to maintin a constant low heat with one.
If freezing for more than a couple of weeks, prep into a plastic wrap lined foil pan and freeze, lift out of the pan and place in a zip bagWhen ready to heat remove plastic wrap and drop into foil panIf you are going to use the casserole within a couple of weeks you prep right in the foil pan, freeze, cover with plastic wrap and tight foil, store in freezerRemember to remove plastic wrap before heating aluminum foil and pans can erode when in contact with food items, even in the freezer.
put the meat in the freezer for an hour or so and then use a slicer to get the best cuts.then marinade over night with bottled seasoning and sum liquid smoke.then use a dehydrator.that's been the best way I've found
salsa and liquid smoke in a dehydrator.
