Description
Simple recipe for making nutritious, homemade kibble bites using ground beef and lentils for your dog.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed
- 1 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the rinsed lentils in 1 cup of water according to package directions until tender. Drain any excess water.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, ground beef, egg, oat flour, ground flaxseed, and dried parsley. Mix until fully combined.
- Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly to form small, bite-sized pieces.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bites are firm and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store cooled bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice flour for oat flour if needed.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add oat flour one tablespoon at a time until it holds its shape.
- These bites can be broken into smaller pieces for small dogs.
