Delicious Overnight Steel-cut Oatmeal

As it's been getting a bit colder, this has been a favorite yummy super-easy breakfast. Just put it in the crock pot the night before and voila! Nice tasty hot breakfast ready when you wake up.

Ingredients:
2 cups of dry steel-cut oats (don't try to use quick or old fashioned rolled oats!)
8 cups of water (I actually use 7 - I like my oatmeal a little thicker)
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup of raisins
(can also add chopped walnuts or pecans, berries, chopped apples, craisins, bananas, etc.)

Directions:
Put the oats and water in the crock pot before you go to bed. Set it to cook on low for 6 hours (if it doesn't have a timer, it can cook a little longer until you wake up but it does get a bit mushier after 6 hours and many people prefer it slightly chewy). In the morning, stir in the sugar, cinnamon and other toppings. If you like, you can stir in chopped apples about a 1/2 hour to an hour before serving so they can cook a bit. Serve with a bit of milk or a dollop of vanilla yogurt. Add a little more sugar if you think it needs it. So easy, healthy and yummy!
