Overnight, Slow Cooker, Apple Cinnamon Steel-Cut Oatmeal

This is one of my favorite breakfasts. I put it in the Crock Pot before I go to bed at night and wake up the next morning to the scrumptious aroma of cinnamon and apples. A hearty, nutritious breakfast is ready to eat right away. I make this for myself and have enough leftover for 4 to 5 breakfasts. My friend, Sandy, first shared this recipe with me several years ago.

Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Casserole {Slow Cooker} Before we get started, let me explain that I'm using the term "slow cooker" but many folks refer to them as "Crock Pots". Crock Pot is a brand name of a line of slow cookers. So sometimes you'll see me call it a Crock Pot and other times I'll call it a slow cooker. It all means the same thing. During the warm summer months, I get a lot of reader-requests for slow cooker meals.And because I love y'all so much, I do my best to oblige. When the sun is a-blazin' during summer, lots of cooks are looking for ways to conserve energy and not heat up the house. Now, onto the recipe. Ingredients: 1 (32 oz.) bag frozen tater tots1 (3 oz.)bag bacon pieces1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced2 cups shredded cheddar cheese3/4 cup milksalt & pepper, to taste I'm using bacon pieces here, but feel free to use the bacon you enjoy. Sometimes if I fry bacon, I'll make a double batch and use leftovers for this or sandwiches. Microwave bacon works just fine too. Directions: Add diced chicken on top.
