Not out there ... more, in here. This particular series is from an e-mailed
file of recipes I found in an obscure folder. I have no idea whence it came.
But, the recipes are (some of them) interesting. And all have been posted in
here previously. My posting them in batches of ten is just my way of pulling a
gun on myself to correct minor (and some major - especially yield and category)
discrepancies before importing them into my own Meal Masher.

I have, as I have noted here before, been afflicted with the pack-rat gene. And
recipes take up little space except on the hard drive. As to the rest - small
change is exchanged for folding money which is then spent. Cats are cats - and
left to themselves (unless they have been Bob Barkered) will increase to fill
the Eco-niche in which they are placed. Newspaper is best read on line and
physical newspaper shredded in a cross-cut shredder (confetti style) to make
bumf for the cat's litter box.

Much less expensive than chemically treated diatomaceous earth.  Bv)=

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

      Title: Cat Litter Casserole
 Categories: Casseroles, Beef, Pork, Poultry
      Yield: 9 servings

      1 c  Bisquick
      1 c  Shredded Cheddar
      1 lb Ground beef, turkey or pork
           Sausage

MMMMM--------------------------LITTER-------------------------------
      2 c  Long grain rice
  3 3/4 c  Water
      2 ts Salt
      2 tb Butter

MMMMM---------------------------TOOLS-------------------------------
        lg Mixing bowl
           Rectangular baking pan
           Deep saucepan with lid
           Fork
           Paper towels
        lg Spoon
           Stainless steel pooper
           Scooper

  To make dumps: Preheat the oven to 350xF/175xC. Using clean
  hands, mix together the dump ingredients in a large bowl.
  Mold pieces of this mixture into various size/shape dumps.
 
  Place so they don't touch each other in an un-greased baking
  pan. Use two if they don't all fit. Bake the dumps for about
  20 minutes or until they are all brown, firm and slightly
  crusty.
 
  While the meat cooks, put all four litter ingredients into a
  large saucepan. Then, heat on high until the water comes to
  a boil. Stir, turn heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer
  without lifting the cover for fourteen minutes.
 
  Remove the saucepan from the stove and carefully (to avoid
  having your face melted away by the steam), lift off the
  cover. Break apart, or "fluff" the rice with a fork and set
  pan aside.
 
  When dumps are done, carefully transfer them onto paper
  towels to drain.
 
  Spoon the rice and dumps into the now empty baking pan,
  leaving some dumps partially uncovered, the way Kitty does
  when he/she is in a hurry. Serves 8-10 litter box lovers.
  Use pooper scooper to serve.
