Recently, I’ve been on a beef jerky tip as my wife is pregnant and I’ve been looking for ways to supplement her iron intake. Beef Jerky can be a healthy and delicious snack and there are some amazing tangy, spicy recipes out there. It’s really easy to make, and there isn’t a huge amount of actual work that goes into it, it just takes a lot of time to make it right. During my recipe research, I stumbled across this video from Epic Meal Time, the boys and girls that have previously brought us some incredibly meaty and baconized versions of a turkey dinner. In this video, they make a processed mess of cheeseburger flavoured goodness. Points for creativity Mook! Here’s how to make their cheeseburger beef jerky.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of top round steak
- 1 cup pureed onions
- 1 cup relish
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup mustard
- 2 packages powdered cheese (stolen from boxes of Kraft Dinner)
Directions
- Mix ingredients for the marinade and put into a large ziploc bag
- Add thin slices of beef. It helps to freeze the beef for 30-45 minutes for easy slicing.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Bake on the lowest possible heat setting (160 degrees) on a baking sheet, preferably on a rack.
- Allow to dry on parchment paper if available.
Here’s the video from Epic Meal Time that walks you through the steps.

Wow, cheeseburger and beef jerky in one meal. That’s really something. Thanks for sharing this. It’s something I’d love to add to the list of treats I want to create using our dehydrator.
A meal in one – well sort of – just need the tomatoes & lettuce – I can pass on the bread.
But looks pretty easy. I’m brand new at dehydrating – just go one to review. I have dehydrated cauliflower ground) in my car recently – and turned out great. – But I don’t think I trust using solar (at least not yet) to dehydrate meat.
Forgot to mention – I think I’ll dehydrate my cheese, grind it & use this instead of that store-bought stuff. – I’ll just guess-‘t-mate how much. – But you can never have too much cheese :)
