Not at all what I was expecting. I followed the recipe exactly as stated. I like to try new things..and maybe the reviewers were right this might be an acquired taste that I just don't have.

What a treat to see this as the recipe of the day ! This is a great recipe and very close to what my mom and grandmother used to make when I was a kid in Cincy. Even tho' I live in the west now...this recipe has become a favorite with our family. The grandkids love it... and always remind me to make it for family camping trips. Thanks for the great recipe Sarge. L.

This is good stuff. I think possibly the bad reviews came from folks using oatmeal instead of steel-cut oats, that seems to be the secret. Otherwise you will end up with mush.

My boyfriend is from Cincy and he kept talking about this goetta. I have never had or even heard of it before. I found this recipe and told him about it. He was so excited!! I decided to try it yesterday. He said it was exactly like he remembered! I made it exactly like instructed only cutting it down in size. It still made six 1 pound loaves. So it looks like we will be having goetta for a while. I'm glad that I enjoyed it also!

My Grandma cooks this for our family every family get together. Very southern Ohio from our German family. Gets me homesick everytime! It's hard to find the steel-cut oats out here in AZ. This recipe is about as close as it gets!

Very, very "Cincinnati" ! If you are having trouble with frying slices, try coating the slice lighty with flour on both sides before placing in a hot, non-stick, pan.

I even tried using the "mess" for meatloaf to salvage the meat in it and it was hopeless. I have no idea how anyone can slice this. Also, I halved the recipe and it's a good thing because my large crock pot was filled to the max once the oatmeal cooked. This must be an aquired taste. The texture was just horrid. Perhaps about one-fourth the quantity of oatmeal would make it better.

This may well be the most authentic rendition of this time-honored Cincinnati classic! Slice it thin and fry it crisp. I have tried substituting ground turkey(to lower total cholesteral) for half of the meat (50/50) with decent results. Don't be afraid to try this - It's cheap to make and freezes well.

Tasted okay, but I could not get it to hold together for slicing. What I ended up with was sort of "goetta hash." It was okay, but it reminded me quite a bit of holiday stuffing.

This is a great recipe. We have had a similar version of this recipe in our family for many generations. My only suggestion is add 1 1/2 cups barley in the slow cooker along with the steel cut oats, with an additional cup and a half of water. Great, great, great, must try it!!

This will probably be the 5th time I'm gonna make this...love it. Even my kids love it too and I love that they're getting their fiber and protein. I do use lean ground beef and less fat sausage and that doesn't seem to cause a problem. I do always half the recipe because it makes a bunch. Also wanted to add that if you freeze portions, it makes it easier to slice and cook when it's only partially thawed...otherwise can be crumbly when frying. I also use a nonstick pan which is well coated with cooking spray. It gets nice and crunchy...thanks :)

This is a great recipe and tastes very close to a commercial goetta I've had many times in the Cincinnati area. It is a long process but worth it in the end. When you cook it it should be sliced thin and cooked over a low heat until crisp on the first side, this will help keep it from falling apart. I also don't fry it in oil but use a dry, non-stick pan. I've found that adding oil causes it to fall apart.

This really is an ordeal, but the final result is awesome. I make it without cutting the batch and freeze it in small batches. It works best if you use a lower fat sausage. I really messed up one batch a while back...it turned to glue, but it was user error. I left it to simmer way too long. I add black pepper, sage and a little red pepper flake as well. Well worth the effort.

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!! I have made only once, but this recipe is definitely a keeper. I have not changed anything when I made it and it is very easy to make. Only I, even though it is quite contrary to the whole idea of it, next time will use ground beef. Our family does not really like pork, and this recipe turned out pretty greasy.

This is a savory version of something my mother and grandmother used to make when we were kids. They would make a large pot of sweet oat meal, we would have a serving and the rest would be shaped into a loaf and the next day it would be sliced and fried, than drizzled with maple syrup. Mmmm.

This was ok. Nothing that I would make again though. The trick to these, you have to slice it very very thin and fry it on a low setting for a longer period of time. If you don't - like mine, they will taste a bit mushy in your mouth. Smelled great when cooked in the slow cooker.

This sounded so interesting to me I had to try it! I did cut the recipe in half...glad I did because it made SO much. I might spray the crock pot with "Pam" next time...the oats stuck for me, as one other person mentioned. Also, I don't know why, but my slices kind of go to mush when I fry them...guess I need to us a teflon pan. But, all in all, I really enjoyed the recipe and will make it again. Thanks!

My husband was very skeptical when he saw how much was in the crock pot and no matter what I told him about the rave reviews this recipe receives convinced him that it would taste like his favorite (Gliers)- until he tried it the next morning! He said it was delicious. Since it made so much, I gave my dad a 'loaf' and he says it's the best he's ever had. I usually don't fry my goetta in oil or butter, but rely on the fat in the product. I'll use butter or a little bit of oil next time since the fat was absorbed by the oats. I had little refrigerator space and it was late when the product finished cooking, so I put the mixture into a 9 x 13 pan, evened it out and let it cool off a bit at room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator. The next morning, I turned it out onto waxed paper and cut it into 3 loaves. I plan to freeze the 3rd- but next time, I'll cut the recipe in half.
