Posted by Fedwell on 9th December 2016

Ingredients:


  • 150g lean ground/minced meat
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ
  • Sprinkle of grated cheese (optional)


Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Combine meat and egg in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in remaining ingredients to combine. Roll into small, bite-sized mini meatballs (yield will vary with size) and place in a lightly greased baking dish.
  4. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until cooked through.
  5. Cool before serving or storing (refrigerate or freeze). Pampered pooches might enjoy their treats warmed slightly for extra smell and flavor.


Tips:

Smooching your dog under the mistletoe may be a-OK, but don't forget that some festive decorations can be dangerous for pets. Keep hazards like mistletoe, poinsettias, holly, etc. well out of reach of your pets! Happy Holidays!
