I forgot about this thread and never posted my recipe. I remembered when I started making some today:

1 cup oats
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups cold water

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and stir. Set the crock pot on low. Cook 8-10 hours or until the oats are done to your desired consistency.

To avoid sticking, stir the oats occasionally -- more frequently as it gets closer to being done.

My crockpot has a removable stoneware crock and if there is any sticking it is easily cleaned with a little soaking. If I remember to stir the mix then there is no sticking.

When done I fill up 1.5 cup rubbermaid containers. Often I just reheat with nothing added. Sometimes I add brown sugar and/or raisins. Sometimes I throw some cooked sausage in with the cooked oatmeal before I refrigerate the container -- makes a nice breakfast that is easily microwaved.
