Ground Beef Stew For Dogs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup unpeeled carrot, chopped into small pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1 (14 ounce) can red kidney beans
3 tablespoons wheat germ
1/2 cup uncooked whole wheat macaroni
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup uncooked barley
6 cups water

Preparation

In large pot brown ground beef, (do not drain off fat as dogs do require some fat in their diets) Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
Check and stir periodically, if too thick add a little more water.
After 45 minutes it should look like a cross between soup and stew.
Let cool, and it will thicken up some more.
Put into individual serving size containers and freeze.
(I have 2 poodles so I freeze in 1 cup containers and they each get 1/2 cup in the mornings).
Larger containers for larger dogs.
When ready to serve, remove lid and microwave until lukewarm, stir and make sure there are no hot spots!
