Mutt Loaf Recipe (with substitutions to make it gluten free)
Ingredients: (I use organic ingredients when I make it for our furry family)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. In very large mixing bowl, combine ground meat and cottage cheese; blend well. Add eggs, dry ingredients and mix well. Add the crumbled bread, oatmeal, and brown rice and mix well. Divide among ten small (5-1/2" x 3-1/2") aluminum loaf pans. and bake for one hour or until a knife comes out without anything stuck to it. (insert knife straight in close to the center and about half way in one of the loaves. Cover with foil of freezable wrap and freeze until needed then thaw and feed. You can also press the mixture into large cookie sheets the kind with a half inch or so edge all the way around and bake it 20 to 30 minutes or until done. Once cool break it up and store in zip lock bags or freezer containers until needed. This thaws in a few minutes in the microwave. Faster than the loaves which need to be cut up before feeding. Cupcake' or muffin pans work as well depending
This recipe doubles nicely if needed and freezes well for up to 6 months.
