Crock Pot Oatmeal

Wonderful recipe!  Just be SURE to use STEEL CUT oats to make this work.  Otherwise, you'll end up with oatmeal soup. I found them at my local farmer's market for $2 for 2 pounds.  It looks like there's about 8 cups of oats in the bag, so truly, and affordable, healthy, get-you-through-the-day breakfast.  I sprayed my crock with Pam before adding everything ni and clean up was quite easy.  I used to be a fan of the Crock Pot Liners made by Reynolds but have tried to use them sparingly these days.  Original recipe found here.
