I love slow cooker green bean casserole and it is perfect for holiday cooking because it frees up your oven space for other baking! To be able to make it in the crockpot makes it so flexible, especially during the holidays.
This recipe uses cut green beans, which you can do fresh or frozen. Personally, I use french frozen green beans.
NEED TO SAVE MONEY
ON YOUR GROCERY BILL?
This is my favorite slow cooker to use. It has a programmable timer on it, so once done it pops over to warm automatically while you wait for the rest of the meal to finish cooking. Even if it finished before everything else, it will stay warm in the crockpot without using a lot of electricity.
Ready for the recipe? First gather up your ingredients. I love that this is a cover and cook side dish recipe that requires no baby sitting! It is super easy.
Ingredients:
- 18 oz frozen green beans (fresh green beans are fine too!)
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 1/2 c french fried onions
- 3/4 c milk
- fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Take all of the ingredients, except only half of the friend french onions, and mix them together.
For this recipe I used my 6 qt oval crockpot. This is the slow cooker I use most often and it is certainly one of my favorite.
You could also use a 4 qt slow cooker as long as it is not more than 3/4 of the way full, otherwise it will take much longer to cook.
In the 6 qt crockpot, cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
It will look like them when it is done:
Once the casserole is done, add the remaining french fried onions to the top.
Spread the onions out evenly.
Pop the lid back on and leave it on warm until the rest of dinner is done.
Twenty minutes is good, even longer is just as well.
You can even top with some parmesan cheese too if you want. So good!!
It’s ready to serve.
Plate it up with your favorite protein and dinner is done.
This green bean casserole recipe has been my favorite for over a decade!
Perfect for any holiday!

It is a shame that we forget about this classic dish after the holidays. Your crockpot version is a great way to keep making it through the winter. Thanks for sharing it on foodie friday.
Diane- very true that Green Bean Casserole does seem to be most popular around the holidays. I love it year round, however. Yum!
What a great idea for a classic recipe, this is great! Hope you have a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I recently wrote a recipe for slow cooker green bean casserole too! I had to stop by when I saw yours on Kitchen Fun Crafty Friday! It looks yummy and your pics are awesome!
I too forget about good ole green bean casserole after the holidays. Anyway, can I double this recipe in the crockpot or does it just not work? Any thoughts? Thanks and happy holidays!
I think doubling would work just fine as long as your crockpot is not more than 3/4th of the way full. You;ll defiantly have to use a 6 qt.
With the recipe above, how many do you think the serving is? I’m making for thanksgiving and want to make sure it’s enough
Depending on the serving size, obviously, but 10-14??
Hope that helps.
Never thought to make it in the crock pot…..may try it before the holidays to see how it turns out 🙂 thanks for posting this…..
Do you ever make chicken fried rice ? I am looking for a good recipe for this…..I have found several, but haven’t found one that I thought was really that good…so if you do, I’d appreciate it or maybe one of your viewers has the perfect one…..do you mind if someone post one ?
Thanks…..
I love finding holiday recipes that can be made in the crockpot! I usually host Thanksgiving and Christmas and cook almost everything myself and there is only so much room on my stove or in my oven. Thanks for this one!
Yay! So glad this is something you can use!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello your recepie looks amazing. I want to make this for 20 people.
What would be the double measurement and how long in the crockpot?
Add 30 minutes on high. That should be fine.
Congratulations!
