Meat Lovers Biscuits
–1 pound lean ground beef
-1/2 cup rolled oats
-2 eggs, beaten
-1 1/2 cups water
-3 cups whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together the beef and eggs in a bowl, using your hands if necessary to mix completely. In a seperate bowl, mix the flour with the oats, then gradually mix in the beef-egg mixture with your hands until combined. Add the water to form a sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for three minutes. Roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, using more flour if necessary, and cut into desired shapes. Place on a greased cookie sheet, and bake for 80 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven for two hours, then serve. Store the treats in an airtight container up to four weeks.
