I have tried several time to dehydrate ground sausage. After cooking on stove top, I rinse with boiling water and then run hot water from the tap over it until I think all the oil is out. Once it is dehydrated, it is covered in oil. I have tried re-rinsing and back into dehydrator but it still comes out greasy. I usually vacuum seal and place in the freezer until ready to use. 2 questions: 1] does anyone have a way to remove the grease, and 2] how long will the meat last before going bad (at room temp) because of the excess oil?
I am kinda worried about taking it on a backpacking trip and have it go bad
