Slow Cooker Steel Cut Oatmeal
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I’ve made this recipe at least 20 times. Maybe even 30. Not exaggerating. And I owe you all an apology for not sharing this slow cooker oatmeal with you sooner. You see, at first, I wasn’t really sure if it was “blog-worthy.” It’s not…

How to: Slow Cooker – Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats
