AN EASY SLOW COOKER SIDEWhat is a holiday dinner without Green Bean Casserole? I absolutely adore it and it is one of my highlights of the meal itself. But why take up more oven space? Make this Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole instead, all the same favorite flavors but cooked low and slow. We love to use our Crock Pot whenever we get the chance, especially when we need to make a lot of food at one time. So this Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole Recipe absolutely helps with that. Give it a try this year, you won't be disappointed. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:What kind of cheese is best to use? Some people like cheese in their Green Bean Casserole and some don't. We like to use a mixture or parmesan and cheddar for ours. We also use freshly shredded as it melts better, but pre-shredded can also be used. You can play around with your cheese preferences but we have found that this combination works best! Can I use frozen green beans? Yes you can. I like to defrost them before adding them to the slow cooker, but adding them frozen will work too it will just add a short bit of time to cooking. Can other soups be used? If you are not a fan of cream of mushroom soup you really can use any cream of soup that you'd like. Some others that we have used are cream of chicken soup, cream of celery, cream of potato etc. Feel free to use what you like best. Can I bake this? Yes! If you would rather bake this recipe in the oven and have the space, you can absolutely do that. Prepare casserole as directed but in a larger baking pan, about 9x13-inch and bake in your oven for about 35-40 minutes. Add the remaining french fried onions and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. How do I store leftovers? This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it should keep for up to 2-3 days. You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave until heated through.

Canned green beans tend to be mushy and tasteless once baked into the casserole, but using fresh beans cooked in chicken broth makes them perfectly crisp-tender and full of flavor! I just grab a few big handfuls of beans, chop off the ends, and cut them in half.
How do you keep green bean casserole from being runny?If you sense it's a little watery, "add a thickener like roux or starch to absorb the additional liquid or cook a little longer," she says. That'll give it that rich, dense consistency you're looking for.
Does green bean casserole need to be covered baking?Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbly in the center, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Can I premix green bean casserole the night before?ASSEMBLE AHEAD OF TIME (UNCOOKED)
This is the method I use for my own holiday dinner plans, and it works perfectly. Assemble casserole, making sure to leave off the onion topping. Cover dish tightly with foil and refrigerate up to 3 days. Remove casserole from refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
