Instructions: Brown ground beef in olive oil. When beef is cooked, add broth, water, and corn. (Note that broth and water amount to just over a gallon of liquid; you can also just dump in a gallon jug of water and add a bunch of bouillon cubes.) Bring to a boil. Add brown rice, stir well, cover, and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool overnight.

Makes approximately 40-45 cups of food.

For Auggie, my black lab, I divide the yield into generous 2-cup portions and freeze most of it (it freezes well). I always have some thawed in the fridge and microwave it for a minute or so to get it to room temperature. I then serve it as follows:

Breakfast 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown 1 cup high-quality all-natural kibble

Dinner 1 portion (2 cups) Wolfdown 1 cup fresh shredded veggies 2-3 times a week: a little nonfat plain yogurt and an egg yolk

Auggie was a reluctant eater with commercial foods; now hes a tail-waggin, dish-movin, food inhalation machine. Bon appetit!
