Savory oatmeal

It was an experiment. Definitely needs some appropriate seasoning. It's a passable poverty meal but it needs work.

Cost per person: 91¢ assuming you have bacon grease and eggs are practically free like they are from my backyard flock.

I do something like an "oatmeal risotto" sometimes. Savory oats cooked with mushrooms and chopped nuts, sometimes breakfast sausage crumbled in, finished with some parmesan and a splash of cream if I'm feeling decadent.

I'm guessing steel cut would be better than rolled for that.

Good to see someone else discovering that oats can be part of all kinds of meals beyond straight-up 'breakfast.' Over here, I've upgraded from rice to SCO (steel-cut oats), with zero regrets.

Savory oats rock! Don't listen to the nay-sayers. ☺️ Especially with the steel cut variety.

Hot sauce, cheese, green onions and sour cream.

A lot of people that seem to think oats need to be diabetes inducing to be good.

I've done this before. Carbs are usually pretty flavor-neutral, and can generally go either sweet or savory. It's not any weirder than the poverty birthday dessert I got as a kid, and that was just spaghetti dusted with hot cocoa mix, haha.

I do kimchi, stir fry some of it, drop hot water and then oatmeal with soy sauce. Salt, pepper, red chili powder

My big oatmeal hack is adding gluten and wheat bran. 80% pure protein and fiber respectively.

Savory oatmeal is awesome. I like it with olives & Parmesan and a fried egg.

First thought: "IDK... Sounds weird."

Second thought: "I'll have to try it."
