Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Dog Food

Directions

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.
2. Add the ground meat, brown rice, chopped carrots, and chopped sweet potatoes to the slow cooker. Stir to combine evenly.
3. Pour the low-sodium broth over the mixture, ensuring all ingredients are mostly submerged.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the meat is cooked through, the vegetables are tender, and the rice is soft.
5. Remove the lid and stir the mixture. Allow it to cool completely before serving to your dog.
6. Portion the food according to your dog’s size and dietary needs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze in individual servings.
