Here is an easy way to serve a crowd a hearty breakfast before
facing the elements for a day of winter sports. You can assemble
it in the slow cooker in the evening and wake up to a bowl of hot,
nourishing oatmeal. The slow cooker eliminates the need for
constant stirring and ensures an exceptionally creamy consistency.
It is important to use steel-cut oats; old-fashioned oats become
too soft during slow-cooking.

Yield: 8 servings, 1 cup each
Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 7 to 8 hours (slow-cooker time),
1 hour 35 minutes (stovetop time)
Ease of preparation: Easy

Take the heat off with these 3 simple slow-cooker suppers

By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD

Go to a garage sale and you’re bound to see an ugly, brown crock pot
or two. Slow cookers have come a long way since the 70s. They are no
longer brown, for one thing, and they are no longer just a way to
bring beans to a potluck.

carnivore, they are invaluable. So dust off that slow cooker you got
as a wedding gift, and get ready for a crock pot revival!
