Hot Cereal In The Crockpot

Courses: Breakfast

Recipe Ingredients

1 tablespoon 15mlButter or margarine
  Oatmeal
  Cracked Wheat and Grits
  Cornmeal Mush

Recipe Instructions

Rub crock wall with 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Follow package directions for quantity of water and salt per cup of cereal. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours. Do not use quick cooking varieties. (Most varieties of cereal work best using a 2 to 1 ratio: 4 cups water to 2 cups cereal.)

Now here's where your creativity comes in. I've only made the oatmeal but you can add chopped apples, cinnamon, nuts, raisins, etc. Anyway you can pretty much make it according to your family's tastes.

Some other combos: cream of wheat and cocoa, cream of wheat and peanut butter chips, cocoa wheats and chocolate chips, corn meal mush with cheddar cheese and bacon bits (real not fake!) add in the morning after it's cooked, grits with garlic and cheese, etc. etc. etc. Once you get the basics down you could probably come up with a bunch of ideas.

This recipe yields ?? servings.
