Well last nite with threatening ice storm, I decided to try my hand at making crock pot oatmeal so that everyone here this morning would have a warm breakfast. The recipe called for 1 cup of steel cut oats, 3 cups of water and set on low. Well since im a dump cook, I just took 2-3 cups of oatmeal ( not instant added some sugar , some dried strawberries I had on hand and covered with water. Set it on low and this morning-wow. After the guys were done eating-I gave some to my chickens which they loved it since its so cold out. There are lots of recipes on the net for crockpot oatmeal. Its a good thing!

I have made the steel oats crockpot recipe, and I like it but it is different from regular oatmeal. My husband did not care for it but he usually doesn't like anything new I try.

I mix a 3 serving amount in a microwave pot and put it in the fridge overnight. It just takes a few minutes next morning.

I enjoy my oatmeal on the firmer side. I will usually just boil fair amount of water, add my serving of oatmeal (regular old fashioned type not the quick kind) then cover it and turn off the heat. I leave it about 5-8 minutes and drain off the excess water. It's perfect every time.

I make everyone in my family gag when I eat this, which is often. Regular oatmeal cooked in the microwave, cooked pretty dry. Add a bit of butter and salt, then top with a fried egg. mmmmmmm delish.

I love oatmeal but I cook mine with milk instead of water - add craisins, sweetner, yum!

Y'all are making me hungry! I love oatmeal. Only thing is, it doesn't stay with me. I'm always hungry a little while later. Maybe ill try it with the egg on top

Try making it with milk instead of water and see if it helps.

Too the water I add a bit of coffee creamer which makes it creamy.
