I've tried the one that Alton Brown demonstrated on Good Eats. It's very good, but only if you don't go for the full nine hours listed. In fact, if I let the crock pot go past seven hours the oatmeal burns. I scoop out the nonburned part and have found it pretty yummy anyway. Maybe my crock pot is just too hot. If you try it, let me know if it works for you and for how long you let it cook.

Here's his recipe:
