Your furry friends deserve delicious food made with real ingredients! Making your own dog food might seem like a time-consuming task, but with the use of a slow cooker, it’s actually as easy as can be. High-quality chicken parts from Bell & Evans, like Chicken Gizzards, roughly chopped, and ground chicken provide the nutrition your pup needs, with chicken flavor they will love!
Ingredients
- 1 Pkg Bell & Evans Chicken Gizzards, roughly chopped, or 1 Pkg Bell & Evans Chicken Livers
- 2 lb Bell & Evans Organic Ground Chicken
- 1 lb Bell & Evans Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups Water
- 1 (15.5-oz) can Kidney beans
- 2 large Sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 large Carrots, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 Granny Smith apples, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Preparation
- Mix gizzards, ground breast meat, thighs, water, beans, sweet potatoes and carrots together in a 8-quart slow cooker until combined. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 8 hours until chicken is fully cooked.
- Break ground breast meat up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Stir in apples and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and keep refrigerated or frozen up to 2 weeks until ready to serve.
To use as a Topper for Kibble
- Use only 1 Sweet Potato, 1 Apple and 3 lb. of protein, but use 8 cups of water.
I make this for my dogs every week and top their biscuits with it. A crockpot full will last a whole week for 7 dogs. I prefer using the BSO Legs, Gizzards and 1 lb. of chicken burger. I also substitute butternut squash or pumpkin for the sweet potato if it’s in season. Pumpkin is terrific for a dog’s gut health.
Simple to make and my dogs love it!
Thank you Kelly!
Hey, can I please clarify what 1 Pkg is? Is it one package? How many grams/pounds is that please? I am based in the UK and have some chicken gizzards I bought specifically for dog so wanted to make this recipe x
1 Pkg of Gizzards would be 1 lb. Let us know how it turns out. Trust us, your furry friend will love it!
