Barky Burgers Recipes

BARKY BURGERS

Steps:

• Cook rice in chicken stock or water, covered over a low flame until done, about 20-25 minutes.
• Process blanched/cooked veggies in food processor until the bits are about the same size as the rice. This will help your pet absorb the nutrients. Mix with 2 eggs. Fold into rice mixture. Add ground meat and form into balls. If balls aren't holding together well, add the third egg and mix again.
• Form into round patties and grill, bake or broil until done. I use a large size scoop to make the patties equal size so they cook evenly.
• I refrigerate enough for 3 days worth of meals and then I pack away the rest in the freezer in one day servings and pull out what I'll need the night before to thaw.
• This can also be cooked in a loaf pan, sort of a meatloaf for your pup at 350º for 50-55 minutes or until an internal meat thermometer reaches 160º.

BAR BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat griddle or cast iron pan on medium high heat.
• Without disturbing grind marks, carefully divide hamburger into 6 sections.
• Place hamburger sections on hot griddle.
• Press hamburgers down onto griddle with a heavy spatula. Use pressure. this causes the hamburgers to stick to the griddle and prevents shrinkage.
• Sprinkle tops with salt and pepper and any other spices you may want to use.
• When the edges look cooked and juices rise to the top, turn over but dont press down again.
• When bottoms are browned, and burger is to desired doneness, remove from griddle and set aside.
• Cover with foil or wax paper.
• Spread cut sides of buns lightly with butter.
• Place butter side down on griddle until lightly browned.
• Place burgers on buns and top with your favorite toppings.
