Goetta is a traditional German-American breakfast dish with origins in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Northern Kentucky. It’s made from a blend of ground pork and beef, steel-cut oats, onions, and a mix of spices such as black pepper and bay leaf. This hearty staple was originally created by German immigrants to stretch meat supplies and remains a local favorite today. Goetta is typically shaped into a loaf, sliced, and pan-fried until crispy. Nutritionally, goetta provides a good source of protein from its meat content and some fiber from the oats. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. While traditionally served as a savory breakfast side, it can also be used creatively in recipes to add flavor and texture. Goetta continues to be a cherished comfort food with deep cultural roots.
