Needless to say, it was not eaten! Now the real question is, who can tell what that was supposed to be?
I'll give a hint...
...think breakfast...
And the answer is: OATMEAL! With raisins...
So who knows a fail-proof oatmeal in a slow-cooker recipe? I mean, how hard can it be??

I was going to guess oatmeal, since I've made a mixture that looked almost exactly like this before. Did you use old-fashioned oats, or did you try the steel-cut oats? Steel-cut works better in this situation, in my experience. The raisins, though, don't really work. They just get mushy. I'd recommend throwing them in later, like rigth before you eat.
I had old-fashioned, but not instant. Maybe I'll try steel-cut and no raisins next. Thanks for the suggestions :)
Gotta be the steel cut oats. Try adding 1 tsp. each of cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla along with raisins or dried cherries. We love it.
Cheesy breakfast rice and beans, that was my guess (hey, as in breakfast burritos, right?) LOL
I'm SO done with our slow cooker. I'm all into my spiffy new FAST cooker: a pressure cooker! It cooked my brown rice in 12 minutes the other night. Way cool.
Hmm, wow. Appetizing! LOL. The only things I have ever done in a slow cooker (with success) are meat based.
Lol, that's one big picture just for a bowl of goop. :)
I would have not even ventured a guess...it looks like so many things. Pumpkin tapioca would have been my guess, I think, though I would not have been able to figure out the raisins.
Out of sheer curiosity, what kind of camera do you use?
That did look pretty icky.
My favorite way to make oatmeal isn't in a slow cooker, but it only takes five minutes to cook old fashioned oats if you soak the oats overnight to neutralize the phytic acid (which allows our bodies to absorb more nutrients!)
