This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Kingsford. The opinions and text are all mine.
When it comes to food, Cincinnati is known for two things, chili (we love our chili dogs) and Goetta! We love our Goetta so much, we have a weekend-long festival to celebrate it!
What I Goetta Made Out Of?
Goetta is made from ground meat such as pork and beef. The ground meat is blended with oats and spices to bulk up the mixture both in terms of texture and flavor.
This is a German-inspired dish that was created to stretch out the meat over several servings. It was economical, accessible, but also delicious!
Goetta is most often fried in oil or butter then served for breakfast. But it works beautifully in sandwiches and burgers too!
Speaking of Burgers…How To Make Goetta Burgers
Goetta is a hometown favorite, but so are the Cincinnati Reds! Baseball and good food go hand in hand just like burgers and a hot grill!
When you are making burgers, nothing beats the smokey taste of a charcoal grill. Kingsford Charcoal has partnered with Major League Baseball to introduce a new cookbook; Taste of The Game.
Taste of the Game is filled with 30 recipes that you can prepare while enjoying a ballgame with friends and family. Each recipe is accompanied by a mouth-watering photo and clear and concise directions.
Each recipe in this fun, unique cookbook was inspired by the teams and cities of Major League Baseball. Check out the recipes on Kinsgord’s website by visiting http://bit.ly/2GgdRy0.
To start these Goetta burgers, combine ground beef and ground pork in a bowl. Finely diced onions, quick-cooking oats, and a lightly beaten egg are mixed in.
The spice mixture is a blend of garlic powder, dried sage, thyme, allspice, cayenne pepper, and salt are added next. I find the best kitchen tools for this work is your hands; don’t be afraid to get in there and mix it all up!
Form your beef mixture into 4 patties and prepare your grill.
Arrange your Kingsford Charcoal and build your fire for direct grilling. The grill should reach 400 degrees.
Place the burgers on the grill and cook them for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
Once the burgers have reached the desired degree of doneness, remove them and allow them to rest for 3 minutes.
Butter and toast rye bread slices, adding a slice of Swiss cheese to 4 of the slices. When the cheese has melted, assemble your burgers!
Place a burger on a slice of bread, top with sauerkraut. Add Dijon mustard to remaining bread slices and top your burgers!
What To Serve With Goetta Burgers
You can keep it simple and serve fruit or chips on the side. Or you can try serving this Dill Pickle Pasta Salad, Bacon Wrapped Potatoes or a Mixed Greens Salad!
