Poochie Meat Cakes

I have 4 dogs, ranging from 5 yrs - 17 yrs old (Terriers of all sizes). After the big dog food scare, I didn't want to take chances so I tried to figure out a healthy recipe for them, something that had all the nutrients and fat they needed. This is what I came up with and my dogs absolutely loved it! The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be eaten by the humans as well.

Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 3 cups water
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 ½ cups brown rice
• 1 dash salt
• 6 pounds ground beef
• 2 large potatoes, grated
• 4 large carrots, grated
• 2 large celery stalks, chopped
• 1 ½ cups regular rolled oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease 36 cups of 3 large muffin tins.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered, and cook 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool several minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, celery, ground beef, and eggs. Mix ingredients together using your hands or a sturdy spoon. Add salt, olive oil, rolled oats, and rice; mix well.

Step 4

Fill each muffin cup with some of the meat mixture, and pat down the to make it firm. Bake 45 minutes, or until surface feels set. Cool on a rack 10 minutes or longer.

Step 5

Remove the meat cakes by turning the muffin tin upside down over a sheet of aluminum foil. Tap each muffin cup to release the cake. Refrigerate or freeze in sealed plastic bags. NOTE: Do not feed to dogs while still hot.
