I didn't try them myself, but my dogs certainly liked these. I didn't have celery, so I added extra carrot and potato. I wasn't certain what was meant by "large" muffin tins. I have one six-compartment tin that makes really BIG muffins, but that seemed too large. I only made 1/3 of the recipe since I had just under 2 lbs of beef to use. That amount of mixture made 24 meat cakes.

Started making dog treats a few months ago when we took in another foster dog. Was hesitant over this recipe as I can't cook decent rice for my own family let alone the dogs. But this recipe is so easy to make the all four dogs (two mine, two fostered) love them. Well worth the effort.

My dog absolutely loves these. She knows as soon as I pull out the muffin tins, that I will be making her favorite food. I make half the recipe and that produces 18 large muffins. I freeze in 2's and give her 1 /day. Her other feedings consist of her dry food. I only defrost 2 in the frig at a time, to keep them really fresh. Takes about a day to defrost. Great recipe...thanks.

Wonderful and easy to make. Very easy to alter and adjust. I use whatever meat is on sale and switch up the veggies with each batch. My cats were jealous so I altered it again to have more meat and added cat supplements and make theirs in mini muffin pans for a nice healthy addition to their kibble. A word- if you're going to switch out ingredients make sure you aren't using anything dangerous to pets. My dogs digestive system seems much better these days, and her weight and coat are great too!

I swear I have the pickiest dog in the world. We have tried about 5 different kinds of high end dog food and ended up throwing most of it away. But she LOVES these. She's just a little thing (about 10 lbs) so we give her half a cake twice a day. She is now a card carrying member of the Clean Plate Club!

My two labs licked their bowls clean with this one! I made little meat loaves instead of using the muffin tins, and then froze the loaves in freezer bags, 4 per bag. Definitely be prepared to use two bowls since I also used a gargantuan bowl and still needed to half the batch. Two weeks plus worth of dinners - DONE!

I have been using this recipe minus the celery with ground turkey for my dogs. I like the tip below to use a homemade broth for the brown rice and sweet potatoes instead of white. Will have to change up this recipe a bit

The recipe is misleading when it says to use a large bowl... I used one of those big metal bowls (the ones that everyone has, you know the ones), and had to make half at a time and even then it just barely fit without spilling raw meat all over the counter. Also, it took way more than 2 hours... I'm going into my 4th hour as I type, because I've been baking 18 at a time and the last should be the 4th batch. Maybe its the size of my pans. Great recipe though. This is just a fair warning since no one else has mentioned it. Just make sure you have a lot of time and patience, or even just cut the recipe in half. I'll be feeding this to the new puppy I'm getting tomorrow!! 1-2 a day mixed with kibble should do it. Hope she likes it!!

This recipe is great. I grow our own vegetables and enjoy being able to fix them for our new pocket beagle puppy as well. I search out the reduced for quick sale section at the meat counter and have gotten some really great deals on ground turkey or chicken as well as the ground beef to use in this recipe. I even found some muffin tins at a yard sale to use and cook up a huge batch all at once. Once they are cooled I just bag them up and toss them in the freezer so I can just grab one and defrost it up to serve up a nice warm breakfast for her in the morning with her dry food. She comes running now when she hears the microwave.
