We love green bean casserole and to be able to make it in the crockpot makes it so flexible. I like being able to get it going in the crockpot and then it moves to warm when done and then as soon as my meat is done cooking, dinner is done. Easy recipes like this are my favorite.
This is also great for the holidays. Prepare it in the crockpot and forget about it while you move on to the other items that need to be made before your guests arrive. Even if it finished before everything else, it will stay warm in the crockpot without using a lot of electricity.
(By the way, if you struggle with getting dinner on the table, I can help. I would love to teach you how to meal plan in five simple steps.)
This dinner was so delicious. I served this side with Baked Ranch Chicken.
This also pairs well with a dinner salad and rolls.
Ingredients:
- 18 oz frozen green beans (I left them frozen)
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom
- 1 1/2 c french fried onions
- 3/4 c milk
- fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Take all of the ingredients, except only half of the friend french onions, and mix them together.
Add the mixture to the crockpot.
For this recipe I used my 6 qt oval crockpot.
You could also use a 4 qt crockpot as long as it is not more than 3/4 of the way full, otherwise it will take much longer to cook.
In the 6 qt crockpot, cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
It will look like them when it is done:
Once the casserole is done, add the remaining french fried onions to the top.
Spread the onions out evenly.
Pop the lid back on and leave it on warm until the rest of dinner is done.
Twenty minutes is good, even longer is just as well.
Plate it up with your favorite protein and dinner is done.

Chandra- thanks for your kind words about my site.
Any recipe I can toss in the crockpot is a winner at my house!

The Cape on the Corner- awesome. Green Bean Casserole is a great way to fancy up this veggie.
Enjoy!

It is a shame that we forget about this classic dish after the holidays. Your crockpot version is a great way to keep making it through the winter. Thanks for sharing it on foodie friday.
Diane- very true that Green Bean Casserole does seem to be most popular around the holidays. I love it year round, however. Yum!
What a great idea for a classic recipe, this is great! Hope you have a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
