Cook the offending freezer burn meat - mix in with dry/and or wet dog food.
Actually it's better to give it to the dog raw. If you leave it in whole chunks it's good for the jaws and teeth as well. Cooked meat isn't so good for their digestion.

Interesting, a vet once told us to use the cheapest hamburger we could find, add some water then cook or heat just until the pink goes away - then cool and feed it to the dogs.

I'm not convinced that that would have sufficient vitamins and nutrition. Wild dogs eat the guts first, especially the liver and kidneys.
If I were to make my own dog food, I'd use a mix of liver and muscle meat, add some oatmeal, and supplement with vionate. Vionate is not expensive if you get it in bulk.
Cheers! -- Om.

The two small steaks turned out OK. I trimmed off the hot spots which were mostly on the edges and fried them in canola oil with an egg wash and a dip in a flour/slat/pepper coating. The other piece of meat was a pork chop and once it thawed out I just couldn't collect enough nerve to try it. It smelled OK but looked like something out of a horror movie. I gave it to my brother for his dogs.
I am intrigued with the vacuum sealer but since it's just me here at the house I don't know if I would use it that much. My plan now is to buy just enough meat to last several weeks and date the bags.

Gee I wonder what the canine breeds did before dogfood, domestication or civilization.
I guess they're pretty well equipped for survival on their own - without Purina ands oatmeal

Yeah, dating bags is good. It's just that meat sales are tempting!
That's when the vacuum sealer is nice. I just used some meat that was dated from March that was Tilia'd, and there was not a speck of freezer burn on it. :-) -- Om.

They got to eat whole animal? <lol>
Actually, a mix of table scraps that provided _variety_.

True dat! I am going to be cleaning out the deep freeze here shortly, and I know there is going to be a lot of freezer burned, inedible meat in there. Dog or chicken food will be the order of the day.......

I vacuumed the carcas of the free-range chicken I roasted a few days ago because I just couldn't stand the thought of making stock until EYE was ready to make stock. Now everytime I open the freezer, that ugly-looking carcas, phew!, staring at me is a frightening sight. But I know it'll be good until I'm ready. Dee Dee
