Canned green beans have a softer texture and require no prep. Simply drain and stir. Frozen green beans require no cutting and have a tender-crisp texture. They should be boiled for about 5 minutes, and you’ll need to add extra salt. Fresh green beans have a tender-crisp texture and a fresher flavor. Simmer for 8 minutes before adding to the casserole.
Other Ingredients
Sauce – Condensed mushroom soup makes this recipe so easy to prepare and it’s the base of the creamy mushroom sauce. Use any flavor of “cream of” soup or make homemade condensed mushroom soup. Crispy Fried Onions – French’s Crispy Fried Onions are essential to this recipe—in fact, it’s sometimes called French’s Green Bean Casserole! Most stores have a less expensive store brand. They’re added into the casserole for flavor and on top for a little bit of crunch.
Voila! Green bean casserole can be prepared as above and cooked in a crock pot or slow cooker on low for about 2-3 hours. Once cooked through, turn the slow cooker to warm. If your slow cooker is larger than 4qt, I would recommend doubling the recipe. Once you arrive, top with crispy onions and bake until hot and bubbly! © SpendWithPennies.com.
