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.

Seafood Boil
This seafood boil is an old recipe perfect for family get-togethers. It's good and fun, and clean-up is easy. It's best made outside and served on a picnic table covered with 4 to 5 layers of newspaper. Remove everything from the pot, drain, and spread in the center of the table. Gather everyone around and enjoy the feast. When everyone has had their fill, gather up the leftovers (if there are any), put all the scraps in the center of the table, roll up the newspaper around them, and put them in the trash. Wash the one pot, and the cleanup is done. Have fun and enjoy.
