Here's a recipe I've used that cooks in the crockpot. Our original family recipe called for top of stove cooking but you really have to keep watch and keep stirring or it burns on the bottom.
Crockpot Method
1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef
6 C. water
2 1/2 C. pinhead* or steel coat oatmeal(Publix has Quaker Oats brand)
1 large onion, sliced
4 bay leaves (more depending on size, * I like more)
3 tsp. salt—
Pinch of pepper
Heat the water in a crockpot.
Add the oats and cook on HIGH for 1 and 1/2 hours
Add the meat, onions and spices and cook covered for
3 hours more on LOW. If it is not thick enough, then uncover
and cook a bit more until thick.
Pour into bread pans (size doesn't matter).
Refrigerate overnight. Remove the bay leaf before frying.
-We originally used Dorsal’s Pinhead oats for goetta
(Pinoats are also called steel-cut oats)
