They also show making ground beef jerky using a jerky gun with four flavor variations, finding oven and dehydrator methods produce similar results in 4 hours total while the smoker adds superior smoky flavor. Key meal prep tip: freeze meatballs uncooked to avoid drying out from reheating.

Emma the carnivore and Carrie demonstrate their top ground beef recipes. They've cooked everything imaginable with ground beef. A surprise ground beef preparation will be shown at the end of the video. Three different preparation methods will be demonstrated, and the process is described as easy for anyone to do.
Emma's previous favorite ground beef preparation methods are no longer remembered from an earlier video about eight ways to prepare ground beef. Her current daily favorite involves switching up preparations each day, including taco bowls, ground beef with eggs and bacon, and adding avocado with hot sauce and cheese. A taco bowl preparation was new to her.
Carrie's new favorite ground beef recipe is garlic alfredo. The meatballs are described as one of the best, absolutely incredible, and easy to make.
The simplest preparation method involves an air fryer. Ground beef is roughly chunked into ground beef chunks without forming little meatballs. The chunks are placed directly into the air fryer. The setting used is air fry at 390 degrees for 6 minutes initially. After the timer beeps, the meat is checked and cooking time is reassessed. The method is described as lazy meatballs or chunky ground beef.
The texture differs from regular ground beef, described as almost like a little meatball with a crust on the edge. The preparation is noted as even quicker than regular ground beef cooking.
Ground beef with scrambled eggs is described as a daily preparation that mom used to make. This combination is acknowledged as sounding gross to non-carnivores but is loved by the speaker.
The power bowl is mentioned as another preparation containing beef, butter, bacon, and eggs together.
Meatballs are described as the favorite preparation. Jemma makes meatballs with ground beef, bacon, and blue cheese, creating a nice crustification around the edge. Blue cheese is not liked by everyone, but the meatballs are loved because they can be made with many different cheeses including pepperjack, cheddar, and mozzarella.
A fun family activity involved making meatballs with various cheeses including goat cheese, feta cheese, blue cheese, shredded cheese, and cheddar cheese. Everyone made their own batches, resulting in approximately 100 meatballs. The preparation is described as super cheap and inexpensive using only ground beef and cheese.
Meatballs are made once a week or once every other week and frozen for meal prep. The best tip is to keep meatballs raw when freezing them. When ready to eat, they are placed in the air fryer for approximately 8 minutes. Previously, meatballs were cooked before freezing, which required reheating and resulted in dried-out texture from double cooking.
An additional pro tip involves mixing pork panko into meatballs for a nice crisp texture.
The video is sponsored by Salter electrolyte flake sea salt. The salt is used at every single meal because carnivores consume a lot of salt throughout their lives. The salt is chosen because it is clean without heavy metals like arsenic. It also contains electrolytes. Two new ancestral seasoning blends from Salter are being tested: spicy and salted butter. These are organ blends with electrolytes and spices that can enhance ground beef while providing electrolytes.
Ground beef juice or grease is used to prevent sticking. Egg is added to the preparation. Bacon is placed in the oven at 300 degrees for 7 minutes, with potential flipping to achieve crispy bacon. The bacon wraps all the way around the burger. This is identified as a bacon-wrapped burger. Cheese is melted over an egg on top, with preference for a runny egg.
Making beef jerky is described as the easiest thing ever, clean, and way cheaper than store-bought versions which often contain brown sugar. Four different flavors are being made: plain with just salt, garlic butter, garlic and onion, and hot and spicy.
Three cooking methods are demonstrated: oven, food dehydrator, and smoker. Hands are washed before preparation. Electrolyte flake sea salt is applied generously. A beef jerky ground beef gun with a tip is used for extruding the meat.
Oven method: 2 hours, flip, then another 2 hours. Smoker temperature is set at 174 degrees. The smoker is expected to taste the best.
Taste test results show the smoked jerky has a smoke ring and smoky flavor. The dehydrator jerky has good texture and is crispy. The oven jerky performed best for non-stickiness and came right off the surface. The dehydrator ones stuck more noticeably.
The oven method produced results almost exactly the same as the dehydrator method, making an expensive dehydrator unnecessary. Both methods took the same time.
Ground beef recipes offer many options on carnivore diet. Ground beef is inexpensive and delicious. The beef jerky preparation was described as incredible. A link will be provided for the beef jerky gun if desired.
