Beef and Cheddar Dog Biscuits
Description
Beef and Cheddar Dog Biscuits bring together staple ingredients like rolled oats, whole wheat flour, cheddar cheese, and beef bouillon for a dog-friendly biscuit made from scratch. The wet ingredients are combined first with the oats soaking in boiling water and butter, then mixed with cornmeal, milk, cheese, and egg. The whole wheat flour is added gradually to form a stiff dough that kneads into a smooth consistency.
The dough is rolled out to half an inch thickness, cut with a cookie cutter, and baked at 325°F until golden brown and crisp. This slow baking develops a firm texture suitable for dogs to chew. The cheddar and beef bouillon provide a savory taste appealing to canine palates.
These biscuits can be stored once cooled and given as treats or training aids. They offer a homemade alternative to commercial dog biscuits, using recognizable ingredients that provide a satisfying chew.

- 1 cup rolled oats
- ⅓ cup butter about 5 and 1/3 tablespoons, cut into pieces, unsalted

- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead, adding additional flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
