Pumpkin Crockpot Oatmeal

I decided to try a little something different with the oatmeal today (or last night if you will).  I had a can of pumpkin left over from the holidays, and wondered if it would work in the breakfast.  Come to find out, the kids love it!  They say it's like pumpkin pie for breakfast.  

Pumpkin Crockpot Oatmeal

4 1/2 cups oats (not quick cooking kind)
10 cups water
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp nutmeg and cloves

1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla

1 - 29oz can of Pumpkin

Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Chunk up pumpkin and try to distribute chunks evenly. It will cook and separate on its own.  
Cover with lid.
Turn to warm for 8-10 hours. Mix well.  Serve.  

It's a full crockpot of oatmeal. ;)
