Glier's goetta

[Anonymous]

Is anyone familiar with this product? If so, can you tell me if packaged product has raw or cooked meat in it?

I'm trying to recreate some Cincinnati favorites for this weekend, and one requested item was goetta. I'm in Arizona and not paying for Glier's to ship, so I found a goetta recipe on ATK. The recipe calls for cooking the sausage and oats, letting it form into a loaf, then later frying the goetta slices.

I'm wondering if the packaged stuff is similar - already cooked through just needing to be reheated?

The reason I ask is because I found a Glier's recipe using their packaged goetta to make cheesy biscuit bites. I'm unsure if I can use my goetta the same way, or if the sausage being cooked twice (once in the original recipe and once in the biscuit) will lead to a dry biscuit?

Goetta is just like sausage, but is best if it has a crust on it. The oats have to bee cooked so that they will attach to the meat. Kind of like meatloaf if you sliced and cooked the final product to crisp.

So, if you have packaged goetta, add it "raw" to the biscuits and bake together. If you were to eat the packaged goetta, you would just slice and fry.

Thank you, but to be clear, is the packaged goetta's meat pre-cooked or raw? Because the ATK recipe equivalent (the product before frying) is fully cooked.

Packaged goetta is raw--like a tube of Jimmy Dean sausage. SO good though...DH is from Cincinnati so we have it often.
