Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutritious Doggy Meatloaf with Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a large roasting pan a light coat of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef with chopped celery, grated carrots, diced apple, eggs, torn bread, rolled oats, wheat germ, and a generous dollop of tomato paste.
Step 3
Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended and feels just right.
Step 4
Next, divide this flavorful mixture into four equal portions and shape each one into a hearty loaf.
Step 5
Place these loaves snugly in your prepared roasting pan.
Step 6
Now, let’s add some color and nutrition! Surround the meatloaves with cubed potatoes, chopped carrots, and more cubed celery for a delightful medley.
Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid or some aluminum foil to keep all those delicious flavors in.
Step 8
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 80 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 175°F (80°C) – a trusty meat thermometer will help you with that.
Step 10
Once it’s cooked to perfection, let the meatloaf cool down a bit before you portion it out into containers.
Step 11
Each container should hold one meatloaf and a quarter of the vibrant vegetables.
Step 12
Store these in the refrigerator, and when it’s time to serve, simply mix one-third of a container with your dog’s regular kibble for a nutritious and tasty meal.
Step 13
Enjoy the joy of cooking for your furry friend!.
