The Sarge's Goetta - German Breakfast Treat recipe

20 servings

3 quarts water

2 tablespoons salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

5 cups steel cut oats

2 pounds ground beef

2 pounds ground pork sausage

2 large onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup cooking oil

Bring water, salt, and pepper to boil in a slow cooker set to High.

Stir in steel cut oats, cover, and cook 90 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix beef, pork, and onions.

Stir into the oat mixture, and reduce heat to Low.

Cover, and continue cooking 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the mixture to a medium baking pan, and cool until semi-solid.

Turn out onto wax paper, and chill 1 hour in the refrigerator, or until firm.

Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat.

Cut the refrigerated mixture into thin slices.

Cook slices one at a time in the heated oil until evenly brown.
