Simple Savory Oatmeal

Description

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
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cooked real bacon bits
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon Creole seasoning (such as Tony Cachere’s®)

Instructions

  1. Place water and oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook at 50% power
  2. stirring half way through cooking
  3. until oats are softened
  4. 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Stir in bacon bits and Creole seasoning until evenly distributed.
