I've posted this before, but it is an easy one and worth repeating. I use low fat ground beef, 10%. Fry it up fairly brown, put the fried meat into a wire strainer, and run water from the hot water faucet over it to wash off any excess fat. Lay it on either a paper towel, or a smooth cloth towel - not terry cloth. Put in in dehydrator.
When it is dry, it looks like dark, brown Grape Nuts cereal. A pound of hamburg becomes a heaping handful when dry. Even though it stores well as is, I extend shelf life by eons by storing it in the freezer. I store it in half pound equivalent parcels.
In camp, rehydrate with water, beer, or wine. Add to dishes like chili, spaghetti sauce, pasta & cheeses, etc.
