Steel Cut Oatmeal for the Crock Pot

The only redeeming quality of this oatmeal is that you don't have to stand and stir. Otherwise, it's not worth making. If you really like the texture of properly cooked steel-cut oats this recipe will only disappoint you. It is mushy and flaccid, not chewy. If you put the fruit in at the beginning it disintegrates into the oatmeal. I'd much rather take the time in the morning to make proper steel-cut oats on the stovetop - or cook them the night before and warm them in the microwave. I won't ever be making this again. Yuck.

This was very good to wake up to. I madet his without the dried fruit. However, when I got up I threw some blueberries in the crock. Added some milk when I served it. Made for the best of 2008 recipes tag game.

We have another way of cooking steel cut oats. Bring 3 cups water, 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt and 1 cup steel cut oats to a boil. Cover the pan and remove from heat. In the morning, put what you'll eat into a microwaveable bowl and warm it up. Serve with honey or brown sugar. I also like it cold with yogurt and fruit. You can store the leftovers in the fridge. You can also cook cracked wheat like this. Fast and easy; we've been eating it for years, thanks to a recipe from Lehi Roller Mills.

I loved this! Got up and breakfast was ready. I cut the recipe down to serve 2 and cooked it in my crockette. Right before serving, I stired in 1/4 cup of powdered milk, covered and allowed it to stand for a few minutes. I will be using this again and again.
