Red bell peppers as well.

I eat a lot of lamb and sheep, especially in the fall, since it is raised locally. I wouldn't call it gamey, it just tastes like sheep, with mutton tasting more like sheep and needing longer cooking preparations due to toughness. It is a bit like the difference between a broiler and a laying hen, the broiler still tastes like chicken just much less whereas an old layer has less meat but much stronger chicken flavor.

I don't think lamb or mutton taste anything like elk, reindeer, or venison which we also eat a decent amount of and are actual game. They taste taste pretty similar to each other but nothing like lamb.

I get the impression that most Americans don't know what gaminess means and tend to think any red meat that doesn't taste like corn fed beef (very mild) is automatically "gamey".

Or that they don't know how to cook it properly so everything tastes "gamey" (a.k.a. tough and/or chewy).

I mean, "high carb" it is pretty relative. 1 bell pepper has about 5 grams of sugar, so while it wouldn't fit in a zero carb diet as long as you don't gorge on them without without fat or protein it probably won't kick you out of keto which depending on genetics let's you have up to 50 grams per day.

There are other sources of carbohydrate in that recipe. So the bell peppers get left out so I can eat more carbs during other meals. The sugar content is really the issue.

Fair enough, I didn't go through the recipe. I usually eat bell peppers even when I am doing low carb and haven't found them to be much of a problem in general, but you are right in that it matter more in the context of the rest of the day.

Anyone have a good ground meat jerky recipe?

I don't believe so.

I mean I have 5 pounds of 90% lean ground beef and a bag of tender quick and wanted to know if anyone had a recipe for jerky that they liked. I have a good recipe for strips, but have not done ground meat jerky in the dehydrator before so I was hoping someone here had a good method.
