Description
This Easy Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole is a creamy, savory dish that brings fresh flavors to your table with minimal effort. Perfect for any gathering, it features tender green beans enveloped in a rich sauce and topped with crispy fried onions.
Ingredients
- Green Beans (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- Milk (whole or non-dairy)
- French Fried Onions
- Cheddar Cheese (optional, sharp or dairy-free)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh green beans, wash and trim them. For frozen beans, there’s no need to thaw them; they can go straight into the crock pot.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you’re using cheese, stir it in at this point.
- Add the Green Beans: Fold the green beans into the soup mixture until they are well coated.
- Layer in the Crock Pot: Pour the green bean mixture into the crock pot, spreading it evenly. If you’re using any additional spices or garlic for flavor, sprinkle them on top now.
- Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally if you can, but it's not necessary.
- Add the Crunch: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the French fried onions on top. Cover again to let them get crispy.
- Serve: Once done, give the casserole a good stir before serving. Enjoy the creamy goodness with your favorite side dishes!
