Slow Porridge

BeginnerHELPFUL HINTS: Each slow cooker is a little different from the others, so you may have to adjust the amount of water needed. For added flavor experiment with adding different spices and dried fruits. You could also try using brown rice, barley, rye berries, whole oat groats, or wheat berries in place of the steel cut oats. Cracked grains, such as oatmeal or cracked wheat, may get too mushy for some tastes.
