Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole image

Turkey taking up all the oven space? Don't stress-this slow-cooker green bean casserole will save you from a Thanksgiving dinner dilemma. The technique is simple: Toss the main ingredients into your slow cooker and leave it be. Then, 30 minutes before everyone sits down to feast, stir in a few plus-ups like mushrooms, red bell peppers, almonds and half-and-half. Top with bread crumbs or croutons for a crunchy contrast to the creamy beans, and you've got a classic that can't be beat!

This casserole is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work.

I'm not a fan of cream of mushroom soup, so I substituted it with cream of celery soup. It turned out great! The casserole was still creamy and delicious, but it had a slightly different flavor.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a bunch of green beans left over after Thanksgiving and Christmas, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I love that this recipe uses fresh green beans. It makes such a difference in the flavor of the casserole. I also like that the recipe is not too heavy on the cream of mushroom soup. It's just the right amount of creamy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole turned out way too salty. I think I might have accidentally used too much salt. Next time, I'll be sure to measure the salt carefully.

This is my go-to recipe for green bean casserole. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love the addition of bacon and onions, which gives the casserole a nice savory flavor.

I made this casserole for a potluck and it was a huge success. People raved about how delicious it was. I'm so glad I found this recipe!

This recipe was a disappointment. The green beans were mushy and the casserole was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've been making this green bean casserole for years and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I love that I can just throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinner time.

This was an absolute hit at my holiday dinner! Everyone went back for seconds and even thirds. The green beans were cooked perfectly and the casserole was incredibly flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
