This Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole is creamy<\/strong>, cheesy<\/strong>, and absolutely delicious<\/strong>.<\/span> The perfect <\/span>easy Dump-and-Set<\/strong> side dish for the holidays or any busy weeknight<\/span>. The recipe includes step-by-step instructions and lots of tips and variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fall is all about comfort food for me, and there is no better comfort food than a big dish of cheesy<\/strong>, creamy<\/strong>, tender<\/strong> green bean casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my opinion, it\u2019s time to give the ever-so-underrated green bean casserole the respect it deserves. Not only for Thanksgiving but also as a great side dish idea for weeknight dinners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This Slow Cooker Easy Green Bean Casserole recipe is definitely one of my go-to recipes when I\u2019m trying to get my family to love veggies. Sometimes that is not an easy task, but when I serve these green beans, there is not a single bean left. They are sooo good!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the only green bean casserole recipe you’ll ever need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t want to use a canned soup, simply place 1\/2 cup onions, 1 garlic clove, and 8 oz mushrooms into a food processor and pulse a couple of times until small chunks. Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Add in the vegetable mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste; cook for 5 minutes. Add in the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir the ingredients together well for about a minute to let the flour cook a bit. Add in the 1\/2 cup evaporated milk and 1\/2 cup chicken broth; cook until thickened.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the slow cooker, stir together the green beans, cheese, soup, milk, leeks, chestnuts, and mustard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1\/2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sprinkle with toppers, if using, just before serving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Bacon.<\/strong> Crispy and savory crumbled bacon is a delicious topping for this casserole. Place 4 -5 bacon slices in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown and crispy. Drain, crumble, and add them to the top of the casserole just before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n French Fried Onion.<\/strong> This is the traditional topping for this dish, and we love it. Make sure to add them just before serving. They won\u2019t stay crispy if you add them right into the crockpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breadcrumbs and Parmesan. <\/strong>Cook the casserole as instructed in the recipe. Then, when it is ready, transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Combine 1\/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1\/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley. Sprinkle over the green bean casserole. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ritz Crackers.<\/strong> Cook the casserole as instructed in the recipe. Then, when it is ready, transfer it to an oven-safe dish. Crush 24 Ritz crackers. In a small bowl, toss together cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1\/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Top beans with the cracker mixture. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuts. <\/strong>If you don’t have any nut restrictions, you can top your casserole with \u00bc cup of sliced almonds, pecan, or walnuts. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Store:<\/strong> If you have leftovers, simply cover and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freeze:<\/strong> I don\u2019t recommend freezing this casserole. The texture of the creamy sauce will change once thawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reheat:<\/strong> I recommend reheating any leftovers in the oven so that the fried onions stay crispy. Just place the casserole in the oven at 350\u00b0F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it\u2019s warm throughout. You can cover it with foil if the fried onions start to brown too fast. If you prefer, you can reheat it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This easy slow cooker green bean casserole recipe can be made with either frozen or fresh green beans.<\/p> <\/div> If you don’t want to use a canned soup, simply place 1\/2 cup onion, 1 garlic clove, \u00a0and 8 oz mushrooms into a food processor and pulse a couple of times until small chunks. Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.\u00a0Add in the vegetable mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste; cook for 5 minutes.\u00a0Add in the 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir the ingredients together well for about a minute to let the flour cook a bit. Add in the 1\/2 cup evaporated milk and 1\/2 cup chicken broth; cook until thickened.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can easily double the recipe\u00a0for a crowd. Make sure you have a big enough slow cooker, though. The cooking time remains the same.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Love what you see? <\/strong>Subscribe<\/strong><\/a> to Mommy\u2019s Home Cooking so you\u2019ll never miss a recipe!
