Potato Salad or Macaroni Salad

Whether you’re looking for an easy, healthy snack or a tasty addition to the barbecue, potato salad or macaroni salad is a winner. This creamy side dish combines potatoes or macaroni pasta with vegetables, a tasty dressing and your choice of meat. It’s a great accompaniment to hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill or baked chicken, fried pork or smoked sausage for lunch.

Add a little jerky to the mix for an extra protein boost!

Macaroni and Cheese

For the mac and cheese lover, chop up your favorite jerky and sprinkle it on top of your homemade mac and cheese. It adds flavor and texture that is a lot healthier than using dried bacon bits.

Macaroni and cheese is a staple of American cuisine, and for good reason. It is a comfort food that is affordable to make, easy to ship and keep fresh and it fills up the belly. It has also been a popular snack for hikers and backpackers since the 1800s.

You can even make this dish a little bit healthier by using whole grain macaroni and milk, and substituting the Velveeta with a low fat version. Try adding different vegetables, beans or toppings to this cozy meal for variety. Make sure the jerky is thoroughly cooked before you add it to your mac and cheese. It is ready when it bends easily and the fibers are white. It will stay fresh for longer if you keep it in the refrigerator.

Chef or Garden Salad

Jerky is great for snacking, especially when you’re on the go. It provides a good dose of protein and it’s often a healthier option than other processed snacks.

You can make jerky at home using a modern dehydrator, a smoker or your oven. The drying process can take hours, but it’s worth the effort if you love beef jerky and want to save some money by making your own.

Start with a lean cut of meat, such as flank steak or round steak, which is the least expensive and is easily trimmed down to produce strips of beef jerky. You’ll also need some type of marinade and a dry rub to add flavor.

If you’re following a keto diet, jerky can be a great way to hit your fat and protein goals for the day. Try adding some jerky to a hard-boiled egg for a quick breakfast that packs a lot of punch. Or, try sauteing some jerky with veggies or beans in a pan for a satisfying dinner.

Potato Soup

There’s nothing cozier than a hearty bowl of potato soup. Adding jerky to this comforting meal makes it extra satisfying and delicious! Just make sure to use lean meat, as fat will spoil quicker when dehydrated.

The process of making jerky removes moisture and adds spices to help preserve it. This also brings it up to a high temperature, which kills any bacteria. It is important to cook your jerky to the right temperature, as it can be very dangerous to eat undercooked meat.

Jerky that is properly made can last a week at room temperature, a few months in the fridge and up to a year frozen. It’s best to always keep a stash in your pantry!
