Prep time: 5 min

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®)

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.

water

oats

bacon

butter

Creole seasoning (such as Tony Cachere's®)

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.


Great idea!   I had no bacon bits so I uses some frozen soy sausage that I chopped up instead; also added some cheddar cheese as well as the creole seasoning.

A nice change of pace from the usual sweet oatmeal. This reminds me of grits, just a different texture. I went easy on the seasoning (I used about 1/3 tsp) since I find it can be a little salty. I'll definitely be making this again!

This is great! I've never found additions to oatmeal until now that I loved.

It took a few bites to get used to this as I have never had savory oatmeal.  It was delicious once my taste buds adapted though.  What an excellent idea.  I just can't handle all that sugar in the mornings now that I'm old, but I do love oatmeal.

Holy crow, this is so good even without the bacon bits!! Will definitely make this again with the bacon next time, and perhaps some shredded cheese as well for  a nice additional flavor boost.

Love this recipe. I added 2 scrambled eggs and sauteed peppers and onions to it, too. So very good!!!
