Ground Beef Stew For Dogs

• 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

1. 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.
2. Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
3. Check and stir periodically, if too thick add a little more water.
4. After 45 minutes it should look like a cross between soup and stew.
5. Let cool, and it will thicken up some more.
6. Put into individual serving size containers and freeze.
7. (I have 2 poodles so I freeze in 1 cup containers and they each get 1/2 cup in the mornings).
8. Larger containers for larger dogs.
9. When ready to serve, remove lid and microwave until lukewarm, stir and make sure there are no hot spots!
