I always have steel cut oats at home since I use them to make crock-pot steel cut oats. I like that I was able to use them to make a lunch/dinner dish with them. Considering I am not the best cook this recipe was super easy. The only thing I'd change is that I'd probably cut down the amount of onion that I use next time. I can never get the onion to not be so crunchy and noticeable. I forgot to get mushrooms but had everything else. I bet it's even yummier with the mushrooms. Can't wait to try to make this again.Reply
