I can’t help but to stop and look at any rack or shelf merchandising beef jerky products.  I’m usually looking for brands I have never seen before (or at the very least have not experienced) or flavors that are unique and/or interesting.  I am sure you have noticed that everyone has “original”, a “teriyaki”, and a “spicy” or “hot” versions.  But it’s the flavors that are less common that interest me.

Walking through the aisles of Walgreens I stumbled upon Chile Limon Beef Jerky by Steakhouse.  That’s definately not a flavor you run into very often.  Chalk up an easy sale for Walgreens.

This Steakhouse jerky is a brand made for Walgreens and was priced at $2.99 for a 2.75 ounce bag.  Thats about as inexpensive as beef jerky gets at $1.00ish/ounce.  There are a few things that stick out to me on the packaging:

• Hand Chunked and Formed – This is not a whole muscle product but it is a step up from Chopped and Formed jerky products (quality-wise).
• Packaged In The USA – Generally this means the product was made outside of the U.S. and brought in to be packaged within the U.S.
• Limited Edition stamp – probably referring to the unique flavor.

The unique smell hit me as soon as I opened up the bag…and the jerky has a redder-than-usual appearance.  As far as the taste…what do YOU think?!
