Homemade Dog Food with Meat and Vegetables Recipe
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into big chunks
- 4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
- 2 pounds ground bison
- 3 (15 ounce) cans carrots, drained
- 3 (15 ounce) cans peas, drained
- 2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
- 2 (13.5 ounce) cans spinach, drained
- 6 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Place sweet potatoes in a large Dutch oven, filling it about full with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the chuck roast and ground bison to the pot. Continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink, around 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the drained carrots, peas, green beans, and spinach to the pot. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the oats and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree and olive oil. Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer the roast to a plate, dice the meat, and return it to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture until it reaches a mushy consistency.
- Allow the mixture to cool sufficiently, about 30 minutes, before transferring it to resealable s.
- Freeze the mixture until ready to serve.
