Ok....tried posting this before but it didn't work, lol. I'm sure user error!
Here is some of my dogs favorite recipes. They can all be changed to suit indivual taste (even if that is human-yes they recipes are safe for human consumption although probably not too tasty-although I have never tried:-) If contain eggs, make sure eggs are fully cooked before consumption). One recipe usually feeds one of my dogs for a week on the trail. (I have shepherds) Also here is some foods to be extremely cautious on as they can be toxic:
Broccoli-should not be given more than 10% of your dog's total daily intake, is known to cause gastrointestional upset in small animals and fatal in livestock.
Chocolate-Fatal in large doses-causes gastroinestional upset in small doses.
Grapes and Raisins-Animal Poison control has documented cases of as few as 7 can be fatal.
Sodium-Known to cause bloat in even small doses. Bloating is very common is working dogs and is a condition that is a life threatening emergency. If you are unfamilar with this condition, you can find a ton of info on it on the web. Some of the recipes below do contain boullion which has sodium, use VERY sparingly if at all. I usually omit them. Please also remember these recipes need to be made in advance as well as the meat fully cooked. Package accordingly. I also find that cubing the meat into 1" sections I use less meat. Dogs don't need as much protein as we think.

Money Saving Tips:
Feeding two german shepherds can be expensive! So I found these tips to be helpful:
SALE SALE SALE!! I always purchase my meats on sale and in bulk. Then I freeze them for later use.
I visit my butcher and ask for scraps-this helps a lot.
I make all recipes in bulk-it saves money and time as well. Once dehydrated, the shelf life is almost indefinate.
Anyone care to add????
