wanna get ya oats in -but hate them plain? try this

For years I have tricked my family into eating oats. Yes plain rolled oats.
Nobody liked porridge in the mornings.
Nobody really like oaty cakes or biscuits.
So.....I tricked them.

When making a stew or curry that used minced meat - I'd replace 1/3 of the meat with rolled oats.
In a slow cooker of soup, I'd throw 3/4 cup of oats in.
Spaghetti Bolognese? again swap 1/3 of the meat for rolled oats.
In lasagne? same thing - 1/3 of the meat swapped for rolled oats.

Too easy.
