there is a really neat little gizmo that can be found, much like the old cookie shooters that can squeeze your burger into a jerkey with all the spices etc and then can be dehydrated in a dehydrator. It is some of the best most tender jerkey one can make.

I have the biggest part of two deer turning into jerky as fast as I can run it through the dehydrator right now!

Dehydrate it, vacuum pack it in bags.
I've even taken to sectioning the bags, putting rice, beans, noodles, dried vegetables & bullion cubes on one side,
Jerky on the other so it's all ready to make soup or stew out of when you cut the top off!

Separate meat, vegetables, noodles and bullion cubes/seasonings into their own compartments and seal them up along the top!
Some water and a pan and I'm cooking away in no time!
