Ingredients
- =
- 6 pounds hamburger
- 2 sweet potatoes, cut up, boiled, mashed

- 1 apple

Directions
Cut up the sweet potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes, until mashable.
While sweet potatoes are boiling, put onion, pear and apple through food processor (chop cycle).
Combine all ingredients (mashed sweet potatoes, chopped onion, pear and apple, cottage cheese, Soy and/or Worchestershire Sauce and dog vitamins) with hamburger.
Use a 1/2 cup scoop to make meat patties. It will make approximately 27 half-cup meat patties.
Keep out enough for two days and freeze the rest. For a remarkable tasty meal, I microwave a meat patty for 5-6 minutes and combine the meat pattie and it's juices with 1 cup kibble, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup fresh vegetables and about 1/2 cup 2% milk. This feeds one very active large size dog (about 50-60 lb). For a change, instead of oatmeal, use polenta, brown rice, or pasta. Use a variety of fresh vegetables, cabbage, carrots, corn, potatoes, greenbeans, peas, broccali, etc. or throw in a fruit or two.
