Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lean beef
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1 large egg
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated cheddar, brown rice flour and egg. Stir well until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.
- Roll out the beef dough in between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Place the rolled out beef dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm.
- Remove from the oven and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the baked mixture into small squares.
- Cool completely before serving.
Substitutions
- Use ground turkey or chicken.
