Overnight Steel-Cut Oatmeal

1. Combine water, steel-cut oats, half-and-half, and salt in an oven-safe dish that is small enough to fit inside your slow cooker. Place the dish in the slow cooker and pour hot tap water around it.

2. Cook on Low until thick and creamy, 6 hours to overnight.

Cook's Notes:

I start this before bed and wake up to a wonderful breakfast! My slow cooker only has a 6 hour or 10 hour option so I choose 10 hours, but the oatmeal is ready any time after about 6 hours.

If oatmeal is too thick, thin with milk to desired consistency.

You can add diced apples or other fruit to cook along with the oats, if you like.
