Steel Cut Oatmeal for the Crock Pot

 

1 c steel cut oats (DO NOT substitute old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats)

4 1/2 c water

1/2 t salt

2-3 T butter

1/2 c dried fruit (raisins, prunes, apricots, dates) (optional)

 

Serve with

milk, to taste

sugar, to taste

cinnamon, to taste

maple syrup, to taste

 

Place all ingredients in a 2 quart slow cooker. (If you want to make a

smaller amount please use a smaller crock pot or crockette. This won't work

in a 6 quart cooker). Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours. It might form a

" crust " around the outside. Just scrape it down with a spoon and stir.

 

Note: I made this and it ended up cooking for about 10 hours, which I don't

recommend! We ended up with a lot of waste on the edge of the crockpot.

Therefore, I would add more water than called for.
