Ingredients
- 2 cups steel-cut oats
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 cups water
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon marjoram
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large Crock Pot (at least 6-quart capacity), combine the 6 cups of water, steel-cut oats, and finely chopped onion.
Step 2
Add the ground pork and ground beef to the slow cooker, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Step 3
Stir in the salt, black pepper, ground sage, thyme, marjoram, and garlic powder, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to LOW. Allow the mixture to cook for 7-8 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
Once the mixture has thickened and the oats are tender, turn off the Crock Pot and let it cool slightly. The mixture should be very thick and hold together well.
Step 6
Line two loaf pans (approximately 9x5 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease them. Transfer the goetta mixture into the pans, pressing it down firmly to remove any air pockets.
Step 7
Let the goetta cool to room temperature before covering the pans with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Refrigerate the loaves for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, to allow the mixture to firm up completely.
Step 8
Once chilled, remove the goetta from the loaf pans and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces for serving.
Step 9
To serve, heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the slices in a small amount of oil or butter until browned and crispy on both sides. Enjoy with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides!
