I just made Irish oatmeal (steel rolled oats) in a crockpot. It was ready when I woke up and I loved it. I hate regular oatmeal. I'll have to try your version. Thanks!

Do you find steel rolled oats at the grocery store with regular oats? I had them in a recipe once and they were wonderful. The lady who made them said that you will never go back to regular oats after eating them.

I will give this recipe a try. We camp a lot and this would be great.

Heidi: I found them in a smallish, white box in the 'oatmeal/grits' section of the local grocery store (Piggly Wiggly). I cannot remember the name brand, but I can check later. I've also seen them at Whole Foods, I think... Yeah, they are that much better than regular oatmeal, but they do require a long time to cook, which is why the crockpot is ideal.

Thanks. I will look for them. Can you use them in cookie recipes instead of regular oats? Sorry to ask so many questions.

That, I can't help you with. Sorry.

I get my steel cut oats at my local store in th organic section. I buy them in the bulk bins. They are .99 a pound. They also have them with the other oats and breakfast foods but the are like $6 for a 24 oz container. SO if you can buy them in bulk it is way cheaper.

I also do not think that you can use them in cookies as they are like little rice pellets and are kinda hard. That is way they take a long time to cook.
DH and I love it in the crock pot.

Thank-you soooo much for sharing this recipe!:cheer4:

I have seen other crockpot oatmeal recipes using the steel cut oats but not regular oats, so I'm super excited to finally find one!

Can't wait to try it!:hungry:

I loved baked oatmeal...I've never tried it in a crockpot before........now I just have to get me some oatmeal! :)

This sounds so good! I just received my first Crock Pot for my Housewarming and will definitely try this soon.

I thought rolled oats were rolled oats, whether or not they were steel rolled or not.

I have to admit, I microwave my oatmeal, it has a different texture, but it is a lot easier for me and I like the different texture. I wouldn't eat oatmeal everyday if I had to cook it the *real* way. It is so cheap so I'm glad I don't mind.

yummmmm oatmeal.

P.S. whats really fun is if you have a little left over heavy whipping cream to put in your oatmeal, it is such a treat!

What do you line your crockpot with?

Thanks so much for the recipe..I don't see your "thumbs up"? I will make it tonite. :tubby2:

Hmm...I'm definitely going to put this in the crockpot before I go to bed tonight. I think I'll add apples and raisins. I'll let you know how it turns out. Sounds yummy!
