Best Crockpot Green Bean Casserole Recipe How To Make Green Bean Casserole

Ingredients

2 (10.5-oz.) cans cream of mushroom soup

1 c. whole milk or low-sodium vegetable broth

1 tsp. onion powder 

Freshly ground black pepper

4 (14.5-oz.) cans green beans, drained

1 (6-oz.) package fried onions, such as French’s, divided

Kosher salt

Preparation

No oven required—your oven is booked solid baking turkey and sweet potatoes, so to lighten the load, this green bean casserole can be made entirely in a slow cooker. Mix the casserole in ONE slow cooker bowl—the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and spices get whisked really well in the slow cooker first to avoid pulling out a separate bowl, then the green beans get folded in after. Pick your temperature + keep it warm until ready—depending on your schedule, you can choose your cook time (2 1/2 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low). Bonus, the warm setting on your slow cooker will keep the casserole at perfect serving temperature until you’re ready to eat!

Step 1In a 6-quart slow cooker, whisk soup, milk, onion powder, and 1 teaspoon pepper to combine. Fold in green beans and 1 cup fried onions. Cover and cook on high 2 to 2 1/2 hours or on low 5 to 6 hours. Step 2In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook remaining 2 cups fried onions, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 3 minutes.Step 3Season casserole with salt and pepper. Top with toasted fried onions.
