Fried Oatmeal

Make some steel-cut oatmeal, on the thick side. Pour it into a rectangular pan & let it sit overnite in the fridge.

Next day, or any day thereafter, slice ~1/2” thick slabs & fry in whatever grease you want - I use bacon or sausage grease. Some recipes say to roll the slabs in flour first, I suppose to give it a crusty edge and absorb some tasty grease.

Fry, moving the slabs frequently to avoid sticking, and flipping occasionally, until both sides are crispy. Careful - they’re pretty delicate.

Eat with whatever condiment or sweetener you like.

Start with some steel cut oatmeal, add a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground pork. Season with a chopped onion, salt, pepper, allspice, clove and sage along with just a touch of cinnamon. cook down for an hour and a half and let it set up overnight in the fridge.

Slice and fry, serve with scrambled eggs and toast.
