Homemade Dog Food Ground Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Place 6 cups water and brown rice into a stockpot. Add browned beef, bones, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low or low and let simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until rice is mushy, about 45 minutes. Add water if necessary to keep mixture a little thicker than a porridge-like consistency.
• Meanwhile, place carrots, spinach, and eggs with their shells into an electric blender. Blend until completely pureed and no eggshells are intact.
• Mix pumpkin and blended egg mixture in a bowl until combined. Remove meat mixture from heat and pour egg mixture into the pot to cook the eggs in hot contents, about 5 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before feeding to your dog, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook all 3 ground meats together in larger 6 quart dutch oven.
• Add rice, chicken broth and water. Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes.
• Add potatoes and carrots, and slightly beaten eggs. Cook for an additional 20 - 30 minutes.
• After cooking, put mixture into storage containers. This freezes very well.

Steps:

• In large pot brown ground beef, (do not drain off fat as dogs do require some fat in their diets) Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
• Check and stir periodically, if too thick add a little more water.
• After 45 minutes it should look like a cross between soup and stew.
• Let cool, and it will thicken up some more.
• Put into individual serving size containers and freeze.
• (I have 2 poodles so I freeze in 1 cup containers and they each get 1/2 cup in the mornings).
• Larger containers for larger dogs.
• When ready to serve, remove lid and microwave until lukewarm, stir and make sure there are no hot spots!

Steps:

• Place the chicken leg quarters in a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 40 minutes. Remove the legs and allow to cool. Strain and return the cooking liquid to the pot. Once the legs have cooled. Remove and discard the skin and bones; chop the meat, and set aside.
• Stir the brown rice into the reserved chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, and add the rice to the bowl with the chicken.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Pour off any excess grease, and place the beef into the bowl. Stir in the oats, spinach, broccoli, kidney beans, carrots, cottage cheese, and olive oil. Store the dog food in resealable containers in the freezer. Thaw the daily portions overnight in the refrigerator.
