These recipes were made with the help of ChatGPT and lots of iteration. I then packaged them in small vacuum-seal bags of approx. 1 oz each. I will store these in the freezer and let them thaw for snacks. It made about 12 oz from 32 oz of beef, but that does not account for what I ate in the process.

I let these marinate overnight, which was probably more than needed for ground beef.

Plain

• 1 lb (454 g) 93% lean ground beef
• 1 tbsp ice water
• ¾ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or ½ tsp Morton kosher salt)
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
