Doggy or Kitty Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 pound liver, organs, or other meat
- 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- 2 cups bran
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Cover meat with cold water and bring to a boil. Immediately lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove meat from water and let cool; retain water.
- When meat is completely cool, chop into 1 inch pieces and grind in food processor, chop in blender, or process through a meat grinder until it is finely ground. Mix ground meat, bran, oatmeal, and oil, adding the cooking water from the meat as necessary to make a thick dough. Avoid using any more liquid than needed to make a dough that is coarse and just wet enough to work with. Shape the dough into flattened balls or little bone shapes and arrange on an oiled baking sheet. Bake for 3 hours. Then, turn off the heat and let the biscuits cool in the oven to ensure they are hard and crunchy.
- Let the biscuits air dry for 24 hours and store in an airtight container on the shelf for up to 4 weeks.
Notes
When making this recipe for cats, shape the biscuits into tiny bits for easy chewing.
HINT: A good idea for getting the meat for this recipe is to save organs from chickens, turkeys, etc. in a plastic bag in the freezer until you have enough to make this yummy treat.
