Liver Cornbread Dog Treats
Ingredients
- A box of cornbread mix
- 1 lb of pureed beef liver
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 whole egg (beaten).
Directions
Use the pureed beef liver in place of the milk for the cornbread mix. Add chopped garlic and mix in the egg. Spread into a lightly greased shallow pan or cookie sheet and bake according to package directions - however, watch carefully as it will likely take less time to bake. Cool the treats before breaking or cutting into pieces.
Variations
You can substitute chicken livers, ground chicken, or ground turkey in place of the beef liver if you prefer.
To puree the liver or meat, just cut into pieces and process in the blender.
If you don't have ready access to cornbread mix, substitute 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, and 1 tbsp of oil. Bake for around 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
