My dogs absolutely love this meat cake! I have four dogs, ranging from 5 to 17 years 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. I wanted something with all the nutrients and fat they need, and this is what I came up with. The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be eaten by humans as well.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 1 ½ cups brown rice

  • 3 cups water

  • 2 large potatoes, grated

  • 4 large carrots, grated

  • 2 large celery stalks, chopped

  • 6 pounds ground beef

  • 8 eggs

  • 1 dash salt

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 ½ cups regular rolled oats

Directions

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

  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 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 for several minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, combine 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.

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

  5. Remove 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 dogs while still hot.
