Slow-Cooker Rice Pudding

I've been obsessed with the idea of rice pudding lately.  I don't know why.  We have a rice pudding recipe, but it's more like a custard.  I wanted something more like a pudding than a custard. 

I wanted to do this on Saturday, but the milk that was supposed to be brought back from Wal-Mart took an unexpected trip to Lowe's and Sportsmans' Warehouse.  So...I started this at 3am on Sunday in order to have it for breakfast.  It was worth it.

*just a note...make sure you use all 8 cups of milk.  I used skim.  It seems like a ridiculous amount and I would've cut it in half to 4 cups, but Scott made me use all 8 cups.  I'm glad I did, because the ONE cup of rice soaked up EIGHT cups of milk!

This is a must-make recipe.  It's healthy (ish) and made with on-hand ingredients.  Soooo easy.
