Hey y'all I don't eat sugar and yet I want to cure some ground beef and make jerkey. It looks like tender quick has sugar in it. Does anybody have any other recommendations? I am planning to smoke it with my a-maze-n smoker and then put it onto the dehydrator. Does anybody have any advice?

Not sure but I think you can make your own cure without the sugar.  The "cure" is separate from the sugar from what I understand.  Maybe search "no sugar curing" here or on the internet.

poindexter, you can use Cure #1 instead of TQ for the cure. Cure #1 only has Salt and Sodium Nitrite.
