The only way to make oatmeal

[jmh]

Grits. A superior alternative to savory oatmeal.

Man never added brown sugar, apples and raisins to steel oats ? Dang, missing out

I've been making bacon/jalapeno oatmeal for a while now and I must chime in to say that I brown my bacon in the same pot I eventually cook the oatmeal in. I like scrapping up all that bacon fond to incorporate into the oatmeal itself so it just tastes like bacon.

Steps: Brown bacon until crispy and remove for later reserving some bacon fat in the pot, add some diced onions and jalapenos and cook until soft, add the dry oatmeal and toast, then add your water and scrap up that fond. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix in some cheddar and cream cheese, plate up, top with bacon, chives, and some mexican crema.

Also, I might be crazy, but I also have like a "sausage roll" oatmeal bowl and a korean beef oatmeal bowl. I just like oatmeal and I like savory dishes haha.

I'm so glad to see this!
I use steel oats in the place of rice.
I put chicken, beef, corned beef, roastbeef on top of steel oats.

I've always done savory oatmeal. My folks used it in meatloaf when I was growing up so it seemed like a natural thing to me. I'm a huge fan of oatmeal with a nice tomato sauce and meatballs or sausages. It's a pretty rocking pasta replacement.

Dude traded in a Ferrari for a fugazi. Traditional oatmeal is delicious.

Quick oats steeped with salt, pepper, and thyme. Topped with breakfast sausage crumbles and two soft poached eggs and some franks red hot and grated parm. Great savory breakfast!

you really had to take a heart-healthy breakfast item and turn it into a giant coronary heart attack.

I did some savory steel-cut oats this winter and it was the bomb - onions, parsley, can't remember if I used bacon or leftover roast pork, maybe some mushrooms - yup, just needed some fried or scrambled eggs...

I love your recipes. I’m not a sweet breakfast person so I’m always looking for savory breakfast options.

[RogueRaidenIRL]

Man, i love oat meal and will eat it just on its own, the first way you showed. Of course, bit of brown sugar and milk with it and some toast is the bomb. Never had it with anything else

There is nothing like the swoosh you feel and here when a mind is finally opened. Just be thankful that you experienced it; some people never do.😊

I have always loved oatmeal! Try it with brown sugar, whipping cream or a bit of half and half! Butter too! Delicious

Being a Scot, patmeal is a staple for us. We have used it for breakfast, lunch and dinners. It's used in desserts, Cranachan being one of Scotlands' favourite desserts. We use fruit and cream, honey. It's used to make crunchy toppings for spple crumbles. It's very versatile and very good for you.

I figured this one out on my own a couple of years ago with the exact same add-ons.😅

Hadn't had sweet oatmeal ever since.

[ashleynicole]

How cool. Savory oatmeal. I’m going to try this with grits!

[seamoreplant]

Good recipe! I’ll try that. I make grits basically the same as this recipe with many variations. So fun to experiment with food.

I usually add salt and diced dates to my oatmeal. Bacon sounds like it would mix well. Then again bacon goes good on anything, kinda like pineapple.

I love oatmeal with brown sugar, lots of butter and milk...but I also like savory oatmeal too. It's a good change up.😋

[miskyloo]

I like it super fire hot, I add the milk and a bit of cream to the pot, tiny pinch of salt, lightly stir, add a couple of spoons of Lyle's golden syrup and its really good!
