Treats from the store are often recalled and many treats out there can make your dog sick. These mini beef patties are healthy and are made with lean beef, rice, eggs, stock and oats. They are healthier for your dog than just straight beef because too much straight beef and beef fat is too rich for your dog if you know what I mean.
If you have an older dog or a dog that needs food with medication it’s often next to impossible to get your dog to eat dog food on command. I don’t think any dog would turn down these treats.
Treat the beef patties like your food and store in the refrigerator only enough for three days. The rest of the beef patties need to be frozen. Feed sparingly. This isn’t meant to replace meals.
These are meant to be special treats or treats to give with medication so the dog eats.
Ingredients for 24 patties Serving size depends on the size of your dog.
1 lb lean beef (I used 93%)
1 cup cooked rice
2 beaten XL eggs
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup whole grain oats (never use instant)
use either parchment paper or a scant amount of oil on your baking sheet. Be careful about what oil you use. Grape seed and Avocado oil MUST BE AVOIDED. Anything made from Grapes and Avocado can be harmful to your dog’s health. I used a very scant amount of canola oil..just rubbed in on and did a wipe off.
Directions
Set your oven to 350 degrees F.
Either use parchment paper on your baking sheet or sprinkle it lightly with a safe canola oil.
Mix remaining ingredients and get out your small scoop and make the meat patties into a meatball size. I flatten them into a patty so they look different from people food.
They go in the oven for between 10-12 minutes or so. Scoops and ovens differ…..
You will here the pitter patter of furry feet.
“I’m getting me some forking beef patties!”
“Your not getting them all OLD MAN!”
“I’m going to forking try Kiddo” “Don’t get all ornery with me Youngster” “I’m 15 years old with cancer, someday all the beef patties will be yours.”
“I love you Old Man but I also love beef patties too!”
You will have happy customers unless you forking give them to humans because they are bland like they should be for dogs.
