All you need:
1 cup wheat berries
4 cups water
Put both ingredients into a crockpot.
Set to the longest setting. My crockpot goes up to ten hours. I started this at night, and it was hot and ready when we woke up this morning.
Here's how it looks when it's done.
Then just treat it like oatmeal. Add butter, sugar, raisins, bananas, etc. My husband loved it. It's really hearty and dense, but very tasty.
I'm interested in using this with meat and veggies, instead of rice. It has a chewy texture similar to brown rice, and it's really delicious. It's super good for you, but it can be tricky to add this much wheat into your diet if you don't normally eat a lot of wheat products. It can make your digestive system very regular (if you know what I mean), so be careful.
This also stores in the fridge just fine, so make a big batch and stick it in the fridge for tomorrow morning! You could also easily double the batch, let it cook overnight, then serve a big crowd (like, on Conference weekend).
