"My husband went to Cincinnati for a football game and discovered Goetta. He brought some back for me to try. Pronounced “get-uh,” it is a German breakfast sausage that blends the textures and flavors of pork, beef, whole grain steel-cut oats, fresh onions, and spices. It is locally available and popular in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky. Kind of like Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple. Or I bet you could use corned beef hash in this recipe."

  • There are recipes on line to make your own Goetta. I was not that ambitious and used the Goetta my DH brought back from Cincinnati!
