Servings 36 cakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup brown rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 large potatoes grated
  • 4 large carrots grated
  • 2 large celery stalks chopped
  • 6 lb ground beef
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 dash salt optional
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, bring rice and water to a boil over high heat.
  • Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Let cool and fluff with a fork.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 36 muffin cups (you’ll need three standard 12-cup tins).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potatoes, carrots, celery, ground beef, and eggs. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a sturdy spoon.
  • Add salt, olive oil, rolled oats, and cooled rice. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Scoop the meat mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until the tops are set and browned.
  • Let the cakes cool for at least 10 minutes. To remove, flip the muffin tin upside down over foil or a tray and tap each cup gently. Serve warm or let cool completely and store.

Notes

  • Why dogs love it: Hearty, chewy texture and packed with real food
  • Batch tip: Freeze extras in sealed containers or bags for future treats
  • Feeding advice: These are rich, high-protein treats and should replace a meal when served
