There is nothing more traditional than having Green Bean Casserole for the holidays in my family. To make it easier so that I can spend more time with family during the holidays I decided to give this delicious casserole recipe a try in the slow cooker and came up with this Crockpot Green Bean Casserole recipe. It is so easy and frees up the oven so that you can make other recipes in it during the holidays. So that is win/win for me! I hope you like it as much as we do!
This wonderful recipe is so good in the crockpot, your guests will not even know that you did not bake it in the oven. You only need 5 simple ingredients for this easy side dish. Yes only 5 and you may have them in your kitchen right now! Combine all the ingredients (except French onions). In your slow cooker and mix well. Cook on High for 2 Hours or Low for 4 hours. Top with French’s Fried Onions for another 30 minutes, or transfer to a 9×13 dish and place in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 Degrees to brown onions. I personally chose just to complete the recipe in my crockpot.
Be sure to try this yummy Crockpot Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other holiday! This recipe so easy to make and will soon become a family favorite! Trust me when I say that it is the perfect side dish to make for your next holiday dinner.

November 14, 2015 at 12:21 pmDoes just doing the onions in the crockpot for 30 mins also brown them, or do they only get brown if you put them in the oven? Thanks!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 16, 2015 at 8:47 amYou will only brown them if you transfer to the oven.

November 22, 2015 at 4:41 pmI had this at a friend’s house and it was so good I decided to make it for my family Thanksgiving. Do I cook it covered or not covered?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 22, 2015 at 6:11 pmCovered – always with the lid for a crockpot.

November 23, 2015 at 5:48 pmif i make a double recipe, would the same time be okay or would it need to cook longer?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 23, 2015 at 7:57 pmIt depends on if you use a larger crockpot.
Shelby
November 24, 2015 at 11:34 pmI have a 6 qt. 🙂
Karilyn
November 26, 2015 at 12:16 pmIt says to add all ingredients except the onions, but don’t you add the ones that go into the mix and just not the topped ones you brown? I’m confused lol!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 28, 2015 at 9:41 pmCombine all Ingredients (Except Onions) In Your Crock Pot and mix well. Cook on High for 2 Hours or Low for 4 hours.
After cooked – Top with French’s Fried Onions for another 30 Min, or Place in Oven for 15 min at 350 Degrees to Brown Onions.

December 24, 2015 at 2:55 amthe canned beans don’t go too soggy?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
December 25, 2015 at 10:13 pmNo, they don’t 🙂
Carrie
November 17, 2016 at 3:45 pmHow long would you need to cook this in a 6 Qt crockpot if you are doubling the recipe? TIA!
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 17, 2016 at 5:31 pmI would just add 2 hours.

November 20, 2017 at 5:48 amIt really does save a lot of time/space to make the casserole this way. I appreciate that you kept this recipe very simple for people. I will be making this to take to a Thanksgiving dinner this week, and I will also be transporting two other side dishes in crockpots as well so that I don’t have to worry about using their oven. Happy Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2017 at 2:03 pmCould I use frozen green beans instead of canned? Would that create too much liquid?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 26, 2017 at 2:42 pmYes you can. Reduce you liquid by 1/2 cup.
Nancy Ford
August 16, 2018 at 9:51 amSliced or whole green beans?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
August 17, 2018 at 1:11 pmWe used cut whole green beans.
Tracy
November 21, 2018 at 7:56 amCan you use fresh green beans?
Melissa@StockpilingMoms
November 21, 2018 at 11:06 amYes but you may need to let it cook a little longer. I always blanch them first in hot water before I use them in the slow cooker. They may also produce a little more “water” when cooking.
