Want something savory in the morning, but needs to be quick and simple? This is it. I'd compare it most readily to a deluxe cheese grits recipe, but this has no cheese--and grits (unless instant) are typically a bunch more work. This was an alternative for my 10-year-old who always wanted eggs and sausage for breakfast. Fruits and brown sugar in the oatmeal wasn't cutting it.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon cooked real bacon bits
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Creole seasoning , such as Tony Cachere's®
Instructions

1
Place water and oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook at 50% power, stirring half way through cooking, until oats are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Stir in bacon bits and Creole seasoning until evenly distributed.

Grandma's Meatloaf with Oats
Grandma's meatloaf recipe was the best I have ever tried to make. My previous attempts to create a healthy, yet good tasting meatloaf recipe failed repeatedly because each attempt resulted in a dry loaf. Not so with Grandma's recipe! I added more seasonings and scaled her recipe up a bit so 2 full pounds of beef can be used and a whole can of tomato sauce (instead of a partial can). Plus beef is usually sold in 1-pound packages, so assembly time is reduced.
Chocolate Oatmeal Chocolate Chips Cookies
The best of everything in one cookie! Try to wait until cool to eat! The best cookie dough treats if you leave out the eggs. Eggbeaters® (1/2 cup) can be substituted for the eggs if desired.
