Jimmy's Meat Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups brown rice
• 3 cups water
• 2 large potatoes, grated
• 4 large carrots, grated
• 2 large celery ribs, chopped
• 6 lbs ground beef
• 8 eggs
• 1 dash salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups regular oatmeal

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, uncovered, and cook 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool several minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, celery, ground beef, and eggs. Mix ingredients together using your hands or hand mixer. Add salt, olive oil, rolled oats, and rice; mix well.

4. 4

   Shape into patties/small cakes and bake in the oven until done. I use large cookie sheets covered in foil or you can even use muffin tins to make them.

5. 5

   Refrigerate or freeze in sealed plastic bags.
