crock pot oatmeal

Derived from an Alton Brown recipe, this little guy is now ready to unleash on the public. Combine

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1 cup raisins or dried currants
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 tsp salt

in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or overnight.

Tip #1: greasing the crock pot first might make clean-up easier. Otherwise, you might want to soak it afterwards.

Tip #2: serve with sliced almonds sprinkled over the top.
