Easy Chicken and Rice Dog Food Recipe

 

Easy Chicken and Rice Dog Food Recipe

 

NEED:

- 2 cups brown rice

- 2 pounds lean ground chicken, Usually can get this on markdown at my local grocery store.

- 2 cups spinach, chopped

- 1 large carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)

- 1 small zucchini, shredded (about 1 cup)

 

1. In a large pot or saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cover.

2. Cook rice until it is completely soft and cooked through and all the water is absorbed.

3. While the rice is cooking, cook the ground chicken in a large skillet until no longer pink.

4. Add the spinach, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet with the chicken. Cook until the spinach wilts, and the other vegetables soften.

5. Take the chicken and vegetable mixture off the heat and set aside to cool.

6. When the rice is finished cooking, stir together the rice and ground chicken mixture.

7. Let cool completely before serving to your dog or storing for later.

 

You can also do this in a crock pot by putting the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot. Cook on low for a few hours, then add the rice and let cook for another couple of hours. 

 

 

- Storage:

- To Store: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator no more than 2 hours after cooking the food. It will stay fresh for up to 4 days after that.

- To Freeze: You can freeze the dog food in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.

 

- Tips:

- It’s not usually advised to abruptly change your dog’s diet. Start transitioning your pet to homemade food by mixing some of this homemade dog food in with their regular food for a few days until they are used to the new food. And again, always consult your vet before feeding your pet something new.

- To give your dog a variety of different nutrients, you can use different meats, carbs, and vegetables to customize your dog’s food.

- Be sure to find a dog food recipe that is complete and well-balanced. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to feed an incomplete or imbalanced diet to your dog.

Food Storage Recipes - Homemade Corn Dogs

Corn Dogs

NEED:

 

1 cup yellow Corn Meal

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup white sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

2 (16 ounce) packages beef frankfurters

16 wooden skewers

Combine Corn Meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; stir in milk and egg to make a batter. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F.

 

Meanwhile, pat frankfurters dry and insert a skewer into each one. Roll frankfurters in batter until well coated. Fry 2 or 3 corn dogs at a time in preheated oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

 

Pro Tips:

Ensure that you let the oil get to the right temperature (375°F) for perfectly crispy corn dogs.

Patting the frankfurters dry before coating them helps the batter adhere better.

Use wooden skewers for easy handling and serving.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious twist!
