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®)
Directions
Step 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.
Cook’s Notes:
There are many ways to go with this dish. Keeping it savory, I would keep a small amount of a fat and salt and pepper seasonings. You can substitute olive oil, bacon or sausage drippings, fish oil, or flavored oils for the butter; substitute spice-seasoned salt, garlic or onion salt, or a small amount of dry bouillon for the salt and pepper; use fake bacon bits, scrambled egg, tuna, ground sausage, or cubed ham in place of the bacon.
