Jenn thanks so much for posting this recipe,how simple is this!I’m looking forward to making this for thanksgiving this year.It will be nice to use my crockpot so i don’t have to spend extra time in the kitchen thus i cant enjoy watchin the thanksgiving day parade for once,Havent had the chance in over 10 yrs with three kids plus we always have the holiday at our house.I will definatly be getting many recipes from here!
I am going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving to free up oven space! Thanks for posting! Question: I really like my green beans crispy, how do these turn out? And how many does this feed? Thanks!
Hey Melissa! The serving size is in the upper right hand corner of the recipe, but I am happy to share with you that it makes 6-8! If you crock them for the full time they are soft and done, if you want them a bit crispy you should crock them for less time! Also if you tilt the lid a bit this will also allow the green beans to be more crisp and also the onions on top! Hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
What size crockpot did you use?
Hi Jen, Thanks for the question, I used my 4 qt. crock pot for this recipe! Happy Crocking!
Quick question? Don’t the frozen green beans make it watery?? Do you thaw them first? I just dont want to end up with soup.
Thanks!!
Hi Allison! I’ve made this several times, and have not had it come out watery! I don’t thaw them first… If you feel they are too watery for some reason slightly lift the lid at the end and this will let liquid evaporate… hope this helps and Happy Crocking!
Can I use canned green beans instead? I’m not a big fan of frozen ones. And if I double the recipe do I need to let it cook longer?
Hi Lindsay … you can certainly use canned green beans instead of the frozen ones! You can also double the recipe but you will want a larger crock pot ? 6-7 qt. should work, but it will most likely be very full???? Happy Crocking!
Would a double batch fit in a 6 quart crockpot?
Nicole! You can double the batch, and it should fit into a 6-7 qt. crock pot… but it most likely will be very full????? I usual make them in two smaller crock pots when I want a double batch! Happy Crocking!
can you use canned green beans instead? if so how many?also would it change the cooking time at all? thanks
Coreen you can use the canned green beans to equal or be close to the same amount of the frozen green beans. It may decrease the cooking time by about 1 hour, you will want to check it to make sure! Happy Crocking!
I am also curious about using canned green beans, I already have them on hand and my family prefers them to frozen. TIA
Nichole, canned will work just fine! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Looks good and the calorie count isn’t bad but curious on how much (cup? half cup?) the serving size is. I see it makes 6-8 servings but what exactly is considered a serving? Thanks
Ellen good question, as it depends on how many big eaters you will be serving! But on a general rule it is about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per serving… Happy Crocking!
Hi! I’m going to make this for our company pot luck. Have you tried doubling this recipe? Any advice on adjusting the cooking time (so that it will be done for chow time)?
Hi Lynda! I would suggest if you want to double the recipe that you make it in two crock pots! You can do it in one, but you would need a very large crock pot to do so! Happy Crocking!
Hi, what do you suggest in terms of making this for a group of 18-20 people? Can it be done in one crock pot? Thanks!
Hi Charles! For 18-20 people you would need a 7 qt. crock pot, otherwise you could make it in two smaller crock pots! My suggestion would be in the two smaller crock pots! Happy Crocking!
Have you ever tried to use Almond Milk?
Hi Kristan! I have not used the Almond Milk, but I bet that would be very good! Post back and let us know! Happy Crocking!
Considering making this in my 5 qt. crock pot – so if I tilt the lid, the casserole won’t get watery from the condensation on the lid? Don’t want to ruin it!
Dan if you are worried about that, you can put a piece of paper towel on top of the casserole to catch any condensation that will occur, but it really should be fine! Happy Crocking!
I was going to make the green bean casserole in the oven, but have decided to do it in the crock pot. I noticed that the oven recipe i was going to use calls for condensed cream of mushroom. Can I use that for the crock pot recipe as well?
Elyse that is the fun of using the crock pot you can go with the recipe that you know you and your family love… If you do it, please post back and let us know how it turned out, and of course, with the recipe! Happy Crocking!
So excited to try this. Taking them to a class party where I need something that can cook while I’m in class all morning.
Hi. This really looks like a great way to free up my oven! I would prefer to use fresh green beans. How will that work? And about how much fresh green beans to substitute for 20 oz of frozen ones? Do I need to adjust the cooking time?
Jylette this is a great question! It really depends on your crock pot, but I would think it would be about the same length of time… You should definitely check it but it will be delish! Happy Crocking!
Can I make this the day before Thanksgiving (today) without any reheating issues? I can save crunchy onions until serving time but do you have any reheating suggestions?
Your cook time, 5-6 hours, can I assume that this is for on low? Thank you
Hi Linda! That would be correct the recipe states: Cover. Cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours. Happy Crocking!
Sorry, my mistake
No Problem Linda! Happy Crocking!
Made this for Thanksgiving. It was terrific and so easy! A big hit with the failoy.l Thanks … and I love my crock pots.
You said you use a 4 qt crock pot. I have a 3 1/2 qt and a 5 1/2 qt. Which would be the best one to use?
Hi Cindy… I would use your 3 1/2 qt. crock pot! A crock pot should be about 1/2 to 3/4 full to crock properly, so the 3 1/2 should work just fine for you… Thanks for the question, and Happy Crocking!
If we only had 4 hours what temp would we need the crock pot on?
Hi Jessie! I would put the crock pot on High for one hour, and turn down to low for the last three hours! Happy Crocking!
