6 oz can- Tomato Pasta

8 oz can- Tomato Sauce

5 cups Water

2 lb.- Glier’s Goetta

1 tsp- Onion Powder

1 tsp- Garlic Powder

3 tbsp- Chili Powder

1 tsp- Cumin

½ tsp- Cinnamon

¾ tsp- Ground Allspice

¼ tsp- Ground Cloves

¼ tsp- Cayenne Pepper

¾ tsp- Salt

1 tsp- Ground Black Pepper

2 tbsp- Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp- Apple Cider Vinegar

1 oz- Unsweetened Chocolate

Topping Options:

Finely Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese

Oyster Crackers

Hot Sauce

Onions

Red Kidney Beans

In a large pot over medium-high heat start cooking the tomato paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring with a soft spatula or a whisk. The tomato paste will start to cook and brown on the bottom of the pan. This will add flavor, but make sure it isn’t burning. Next, remove the pan from the heat. Add the water and tomato sauce, stir making sure to get all of the tomato paste off of the bottom of the pan.

Next cut or tear the Goetta into 1-2 inch pieces. Add the Goetta to the pot (cooking the meat in the liquid is what leads to the classic Cincinnati Chili texture). Break down the meat until no large pieces remain (a potato masher works well). Put the pot back on the heat. Add: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, Cumin, Cinnamon, Ground Allspice, Ground Cloves, Cayenne, Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir until everything is combined.

Drop the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally (every 20-30 minutes). Scrape the bottom to make sure there is no sticking. Add the Chocolate and Apple Cider Vinegar in the last 5 minutes of cooking. If the chili is thicker than you want add water, ¼ cup at a time. Serve over spaghetti noodles or hot dogs.

Goetta Monkey Bread

1 cup milk

1 package Country Gravy Mix

1/4 cup melted butter

2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

2 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

1-pound Glier’s Goetta, cooked and drained

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix milk, gravy mix, and melted butter with a whisk in a large bowl. Reserve 3/4 cup of the gravy mixture; set aside.

Cut biscuits into quarters. Add biscuit pieces to gravy mixture in a large bowl; mix until all pieces are covered. Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the cheese and cooked Goetta until well blended. Place biscuit mixture into a greased bundt pan. Pour reserved gravy mixture over top.

Bake 35 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cool in pan 5 to 10 minutes. To unmold, loosen sides of monkey bread from the pan with a knife. Place a plate on top of the pan then carefully flip the pan onto the plate. Remove the pan, place a second plate on top of the bread and flip again to leave the bread cheesy side up. Serve warm and share with friends and family.

Goetta Cheddar Waffles

1lb. Glier’s Goetta

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

3tsp. Baking Powder

2tsp. Salt

2 Large Eggs

1 Stick Unsalted Butter (melted)

2 Cups Milk

2-2 ½ Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preheat your waffle iron. Brown Goetta, then place on a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of excess grease. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together eggs, butter, and milk in a separate bowl. Add the cheddar cheese, once all the wet ingredients are well mixed. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix slightly, over-mixing the batter will lead to dense waffles. Add the Goetta to the batter, then mix until it is fully incorporated. Grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour batter onto the hot iron, spread until it has reached the edges of the iron. Close and cook for 4-5 minutes. Check to make sure the waffles are golden brown. Get creative with this tasty and versatile treat. Try serving them with eggs, gravy, fried chicken, or even make them into sandwiches.
