Instructions
Using an electric meat slicer, cut the frozen ground beef into rounds that are 3 mm or 2 mm thick. The slices may curl slightly as you cut; gently unroll them and lay them flat on the food dehydrator racks. Lightly sprinkle the meat slices with kosher salt.
Dehydrate at 165°F:
For 3-mm chips: Cook for 12 to 14 hours, depending on your desired crispness.
For 2-mm chips: Cook for 10 hours.
Once crisp, serve the chips on their own or with your favorite dip.
