This sounds easier and cheaper than the food I used to make for my Greys. It is also the same mix I buy to feed my birds every morning. Hmm, maybe I should use this to feed everyone in the morning so the dogs don't try to steal from the birds.

I use 1 tbl for an entire 6qt pot 3. turn pot on low and forget about it for a full 24 hrs. I normally start this in the morning and don't use it until the following evening since I -pack- my crock pot full, anyone else heavily packing thier pot shoudl do the same. 4. after 24 hours, take the lid off, use the potato masher to mash up your chicken AND bones. You read correctly, the bones. The crock pot will slow cook the bones until they turn into mush at the very slightest of pressure, so you can feed your hound that good calcium and marrow- this is "home-made chicken meal", in case you've wondered what Chicken meal is in your dog food. 5. use the slotted spoon to scoop out the chicken meal into the 5gal bucket. Add the macaroni (or rice) to the crock pot and let it cook in the left over chicken broth. Add more water if needed. 6. Pour frozen veggies into bucket. Once noodles/rice is done, pour pot ingredients into bucket and throughly mix. The hot chicken and hot noodles/rice will cook the frozen veggies. 7. Divide the mixture into the gladware containers. Freeze what you don't need immediatly (with in a weeks time). 8. Feed this as you would canned food, with 1 cup equalling 1 can. Side notes: - only chicken will break down in 24 hrs, beef, pork, turkey, etc... has too dense of bones. - get creative with this dish. Add ground turkey or ground beef or fish! Add different veggies, or different carbs (yams, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, potatoes, barley, oatmeal), or even add fruit. - http://www.greytalk.com/~forums/index.php?showtopic=66592 is a link to the recipie as i posted it to the Greytalk webforum - www.GreyTalk.com This recipie originated from Heidi Choquette, a Saluki person on the Saluki-L. She posted to the list about cooking chicken in the crock pot. I was the one who posted this recipie the way I made it- in the crock pot and adding veggies/macaroni, etc... I do not mind this recipie cross posted, as it has become a huge hit with many Greyhounds. I do ask that credit goes where credit is due, and even I would not have this wonderful recipie had Heidi not have posted about her discover of "Crock Pot Chicken".
