Dog Food for ALL dogs...including the FUSSY!!

Ingredients

• 2 lbs carrots
• 2 lbs potatoes
• 1/2 bunch celery (can sub zucchini or green beans)
• 3 lbs of cheap beef ( hamburger, mince, chuck or the like)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 -4 chicken stock cubes (optional)
• 4-4 1/2 quarts water
• 1 lb of dried pearl barley

Directions

1. Start with a LARGE stock pot.
2. Chop or slice the carrots, potatoes, celery and meat (other than minced meat) to a size that suits your dog.
3. Add the above ingredients to the pot.
4. Add the soy sauce and stock cubes to the pot.
5. Add the water to the pot. You may need to reduce or increase (less likely) the amount of water. It will depend on the moisture in the vegetables and meat.
6. Put the pot on the stove top, over a high heat.
7. Let it cook for about one hour.
8. Then -- assuming the mixture has come to a boil -- add the barley. Don't add the barley until the boil happens (it doesn't have to be a big rolling boil).
9. After adding the barley, cook for another 30-35 minutes (depending on what the barley package suggests.
10. This recipe really holds its heat, so let it cool for at least four hours before serving. Better still, make the recipe in the morning (weekends are good), then dish up the servings for the evening meal and let them cool all day.
11. Store in the refrigerator after completely cooled.  I tried canning and was not "comfortable" with the outcome!

Makes approximately 8 quart jars.
