Best Oatmeal Ever.

So it's freezing rain outside and we're well into the month of March....however, I have to say that I was excited for the lame weather so that I could try out this delicious oatmeal. Everyone knows that you have to have crappy weather to eat oatmeal (or maybe that's what kids growing up in Yuma are taught to believe - we begged for rain - there's just something seriously wrong with eating oatmeal and drinking hot chocolate when you have to leave the door open so you can hope for a little "chill" in the morning)

Anyway...loved this oatmeal.
serves 6

2 egg, beaten
3-1/2 cups milk
*1 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups rolled oats
*1/4 cup butter

Mix everything but the butter in a pot over medium heat and cook till thick. Some reviewers said they used only 1/2 c. brown sugar and 2T butter and it was good...so being the killjoy that I am...I reduced to those amounts and threw in a whole chopped apple...delicious and the kids ate it...Finally a way to tackle those food storage oats without having to swim in cookies (not that my husband would mind...he's getting oatmeal scotchies for his birthday ;)
