2 lbs. lean ground pork, unseasoned
1 c. Elam's steel cut oats
2 - 2 1/2 c. boiling water
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. monosodium glutamate
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. sage

Heat ground pork until it loses pink color and drain off excess fat. Mix in remaining ingredients and place in 325 degree oven in tightly covered skillet or roaster for about one hour, stirring frequently (every 10 to 15 minutes). Add small amount of additional water as needed to keep from sticking. After one hour, remove from oven and pour mixture into shallow pan to cool. Chill overnight in refrigerator. Slice and fry until crisp. Serve plain or topped with a poached egg.
