Super good oatmeal!! I actually ENJOYED devouring this oatmeal, usually it’s a battle between myself to finish my serving! However, I did add more sugar and cinnamon as that’s just my preference. Very creamy, rich oatmeal! Yummie. Made the amount of servings as in recipe so saving some for tomorrow! (: or later today!

Made for Beverage Tag 2008. This makes a wonderful breakfast on a cold winter morning. It had just the right amount of sweetness and the texture was perfect. Even my two "babies" (a rottweiler and cockapoo) loved this special treat. I added a handful of fresh blueberries to my bowl and had this with some toast made from Bread Machine Portuguese Sweet Bread (Recipe #185431). Thanks for sharing this great recipe, bullwinkle. It is going straight into my keeper file. .

Absolutely Loved this! I was looking for something hearty and warm for breakfast and decided to try this. I've never added evaporated milk to oatmeal before and It made it so rich and creamy. I easliy cut the recipe in half and it turned out great. I used quick cooking oatmeal so It came together very quickly. Even my 2 yr old liked it. One bite for mom... One bite for her... One bite for mom... ;) Thank You so much for posting. There was no need to change anything. This recipe is perfect as is. (LOVE that!!) I will definately make this one again.

This was outstanding oatmeal! It was the creamiest I've ever had. The evaporated milk is so delicious mixed with the sugar and cinnamon. My daughter (who doesn't like oatmeal!) enjoyed this, too. Thanks Bullwinkle Note: the funny thing was that I didn't read your description of recipe correctly. I told my daugher that it was your Grandma's recipe (said with reverence!). Roxygirl
