Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole
There’s one dish that should be at every holiday dinner…the green bean casserole. Although it seems old fashioned I just love it! It is so easy to make too. Just toss green beans together with some cream of mushroom soup and some french fried onions and you’re practically done.
I love making this casserole in my slow cooker because you can easily take it to a family dinner and keep it warm until everybody is ready to eat. I also appreciate that you can double or triple the recipe with no problems and feed a large crowd.
I used canned green beans and a can of cream of mushroom soup for this easy slow cooker green bean casserole recipe out of pure convenience. But you you can also make your own cream of mushroom soup and use frozen green beans too. If you end up using frozen green beans just add 30-60 minutes to the cooking time.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole I used my 3-quart casserole crock made by the Crock-Pot brand.* I have loved this casserole shaped crockpot for recipes just like this. I love that the crock insert is completely oven and dishwasher safe. I love how if you want to brown the top of a casserole you can do that quickly in the oven after it cooks all day in the slow cooker. Or if you want to bake something in the oven and then put it into the crockpot and keep it warm on the counter, you can do that too. They cost around $40 and I think totally worth the investment!

Very simple to make and delicious – one less thing in the oven on Thanksgiving!

Thanks Mary!
Do you have to put it under the broiler? Can I use milk in place of half & half ? Please answer asap.
No you don’t have to. And yes you can use milk.
What would be the cook times if you did it in the instapot?
I haven’t tried this one in the IP yet. You’d have to do pot in pot and then I’d suggest a 7 minute cooking time.
Thanks, I was wondering about IP too.
what about if you use fresh green beans? Any time difference?
I haven’t tried it with fresh green beans yet. But if I did I would blanch the fresh beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Then drain them and add them to the crockpot. Keep the cooking time the same.
Thanks Karen!! You just freed up space in my oven!! 😄

I made it this year using homemade mushroom sauce and fresh green beans. Cooking time was about 6 hours on low. I cut the beans into 1-inch pieces and they were cooked through but not limp. Just perfect.

Oops, forgot to add that I did not blanch the beans. I made the mushroom sauce in advance and stuck it in the freezer for a week, then cut up the beans the day before. All I had to do on the day of was toss the thawed sauce and beans into my slow cooker and let it do it’s thing. I topped it with some pan-toasted French’s fried onions and everyone loved it.
I cooked the mushrooms (8oz) until most of the liquid was gone, then made a roux with ¼ cup flour. I added some chicken broth and cream to make the gravy, and it was like canned cream of mushroom soup on steroids. It made for some seriously delicious, yet very traditional, GBC.
