Slow cooker oatmeal

Ingredients

• 8.5 cups water
• 2 cups oats
• 1.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups brown sugar 
• 0.5 tsp salt

Instructions

Coat inside of slow cooker with thin layer of butter.  Add all ingredients and stir. Cook on low for 5 hours. 

Stir in 1 tsp vanilla essence.

UPDATE: we don’t bother with the sugar or the vanilla essence any more, and even the butter part isn’t really necessary.
