Left overs will keep for a week if stored in the refrigerator in a container with a tight fitting cover. To keep the cooked oatmeal from forming a skin on the top, I press a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the oatmeal. Enjoy the colon cleansing goodness.

Did you try the Honeyville oats? Anyone?

I have the McCann's any like it very much. I'd be very interested if this is the same taste & quality.

TIA

I tried them and have been buying them all winter. They cost me $2.99 for 20 oz at Trader Joe's and 28 oz of McCann's is around $6.00. I can't taste any difference.

Steel Cut Oats?

Best used in the following Cincinnati tradition - Goetta (say "getta")

Kid Rich's Goetta

INGREDIENTS:

3 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons dried savory
1 teaspoon garlic powder
5 cups steel cut or "pinhead" oats
2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
2 lbs ground pork sausage (half of it "hot")
2 large onions, diced

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat water, salt, pepper and spices in slow-cooker/crock-pot set to "high" for 30 minutes. Add oats, cover, and cook for 90 minutes.

2. Mix beef, pork, and onions in large bowl. Stir meat into cooking oats, reduce heat to low, and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. (Watch for lumps or clumps of meat.)

3. Pour mixture into five or six aluminum bread pans and allow to cool until firm.

4. Slice goetta loaves into 1/4" slabs and cook on oiled skillet set to 325 degrees for approximately 30 minutes until evenly brown. Serve with eggs, toast, and good coffee. Freeze remaining loaves.
