Ingredients

• 2 cups Steel-cut oats
• 6 cups Water
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your slow cooker by either spraying it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Add the steel-cut oats and water to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork and ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Add the cooked meats to the slow cooker with the oats and water.

Step 5

Stir in the finely diced onion, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, allspice, sage, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat.

Step 7

Allow the mixture to cook for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the oats and meat are evenly distributed and prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the goetta has thickened and the oats have softened, carefully remove and discard the bay leaves.

Step 9

Transfer the goetta mixture to greased loaf pans or another suitable container to cool and set.

Step 10

Refrigerate the goetta for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it has fully firmed up.

Step 11

To serve, slice the chilled goetta into 1/2-inch thick portions and fry in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp on both sides.

Step 12

Serve hot as a standalone dish or with your favorite breakfast accompaniments such as eggs, toast, or hash browns.
