I absolutely love this slow-cooked oatmeal. The steel-cut oats have so much flavor and texture. My family sprinkles toasted pecans on top whenever possible. —Angela Lively, Conroe, Texas

1/8 teaspoon salt

Test Kitchen tips

Keep an eye on this as it nears the end of cooking to prevent overcooking at the edges, especially if your slow cooker runs hot.

It's important in this recipe to use steel-cut oats, which need to cook longer than rolled oats. You might find them labeled as Irish oats.

Health tip

Boost protein with a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt (it will help you stay full longer).
