Beef and Rice Cakes

• 1). Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease three muffin tins with low-fat cooking spray.
  
  
• 2). Pour the brown rice into a large saucepan, and add the water. Bring the rice to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Allow the rice to cool completely.
  
  
• 3). Peel and finely grate the potatoes and carrots. Chop two celery stalks into half-inch pieces. Place the grated potatoes, grated carrots, celery pieces, ground beef and eggs in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients well.
  
  
• 4). Add the salt, olive oil, rolled oats and cooled rice to the bowl. Mix the ingredients well.
  
  
• 5). Fill the muffin tins with the mixture. Pack the mixture down tightly into each muffin cup until the ingredients are level with the rim.
  
  
• 6). Cook the cakes for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned.
  
  
• 7). Cool the cakes completely before serving. Freeze the remaining cakes in an airtight container.
