Rehydrating ground beef that I dehydrated a year ago.

In this video I test the quality and flavor of ground beef that was dehydrated a year ago.

Better late than never. After watching this video a couple of years ago, I dehydrated some hamburger. I forgot about it on the shelf for almost two years. Tried it and it was great. I have since dehydrated more because of space and ease of use. I guarantee I will not forget it's there now. This stuff is great.

Just a quick tip.  It is best to rehydrate any dehydrated food you're going to add to a tomato based (high acid) dish.  Acid inhibits rehydration.

Thank you Christy. I have a dehydrator and have so far dehydrated a few fruit and veg. I have recently purchased a four wheel drive and thought about going camping but dont want to run a refrigerator and have thought that I could probably dehydrate pretty much everything I need and just take a butload of water and re-hydrate it as needed. No refrigeration :)

Thank you for not rambling on for 25mins, for a 3min video.
This is the reason I chose to look at YOUR video over the other 200.

Thank you! I'm planning a thru hike and I didn't know how long ground beef would be shelf stable! Thank you!

Looks delicious and we’re going to be getting a pampered chef airfryer that also has a dehydrate setting.

Love all your shows on freeze drying and dehydration. There is a product I really like made by Jimmy Dean named Crumbles which is expensive and often hard to find plus requires refrigeration/freezing. Wondering if you have ever tried your technique on ground turkey or pork. Think it would work well to make your own ‘crumbles’

Hey Katzkradul I have been missing your posts!

Thanks for this video. I keeps seeing dried chicken and duck mini fillets at my local supermarket that are intended for dogs but are just 100% breast meat and was thinking of getting some as emergency food, guessing rehydration would be the same if I cut it up small before adding to water?

What is the weight difference from fresh to dehydrated beef?

How do you vacuum seal the jars?? New to all of this

I just finished thawing and browning some ground beef to start supper for my family. I pulled out two packs from the freezer while I was at it. My question: is there any reason I shouldn’t add salt, pepper and onions? I am thinking that the less I need to do on the other end, the better! I am just starting out, playing with my “starter” Nesco, trying to decide if this is a good thing for me. So far, so good, except my first try with rice turned into rice with mixed vegetables! I now have a set of fine mesh silicone to avoid unintended recipes in the future! Thank you for getting me started.

I cooked a pound of ground beef and then dehydrated it. It came to a cup dehydrated.

How long will it keep if you do not have a vacuum sealer?

[starfire]

I tried this and when reconstituted it was rubbery?

Christy, I have a dehydrator but it doesn't have a thermostat. It has a fan. Can I do this without an thermostat? I have done mixed vegetables, carrots, bell pepper etc. But I have never attempted meat.

Awesome, thank you. I wondered about rehydrating....

[Christopherjamesmurphy]

so awesome. i want a pressure canner too so i can bottle meat

[DavidMcFarner]

Do you see any reason that this wouldn’t work with ground Turkey?

[cherrynurse]

I know this is an old video but how much dried beef equals one pound of rehydrated beef? I'm sorry if you already answered this in another video.
