My mother-in-law makes a concoction of ground venison (or some other ground, or chopped left over meat), unsalted chicken stock, and mixed vegetables, cooks it up in a large pot and puts them in individual containers for my brother-in-laws Lab. That way she can just pull one out when she needs it. They never buy dog food, that way you know you are feeding them "real meat" instead of that crap they sell in the stores.
