Steel Cut Oats

Wow that picture is way smaller than I thought it would be.
I found this on Pinterest and thought I would share.
Side note: I tried the link and it took me to Pinterest, but not to the recipe.
Search: Steel Cut Oats Slow Cooker.  

Recently, I tried steel cut oats. I loved the flavor and the texture, but could not
stand the amount of time it took to cook. I almost gave up until I found the above.
(Can you hear sing?) 

I've eaten rolled oats my entire life up until this point. I could eat oatmeal everyday.
But steel cut tastes better. It's taste is similar to that of brown rice and walnuts (in my opinion),
and I love both of those.
The down side, it takes 30 minutes or more to cook, 30 minutes of watching and stirring - 
time that I can never get back.



Many of you would say, "it's just oatmeal." No it's not! It's nutritious and delicious. 
And, and get this - because it takes the body longer to break down, you stay fuller
longer.
Drum roll please! The time in a crockpot, 7 to 8 hours overnight! 
I'm done, have a nice morning.
