Yes of course! You can make this Green Bean Casserole in the Slow Cooker.

  • All you need to do is dump all the ingredients in the same order and cover cook on Low for about 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
  • After it gets cooked, garnish with crispy fried onions and serve

🤔 Can I make Crispy Fried Onions at home?

Yes of course! I do this all the time.

  • First, chop the Onion into thin slices and separate them
  • Toss the Onions with some flour and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Transfer them to a parchment paper lined baking dish
  • Drizzle some olive oil over them and roast @ 400F for about 20 min.
  • OR, Just heat some Canola Oil in a deep dish skillet and as the oil shimmers, deep fry the Onions until they turn crispy and golden brown
  • Transfer them to a parchment paper lined plate to soak out the excess moisture and then use them.

🤔 Can I make this Ahead of Time?

Why not! This is such an easy recipe that you can easily make this ahead of time.

Just add everything in the baking dish, cover with a foil and freeze until use.

Next, just pop it directly in the oven and bake for a few extra minutes.

Do Not need to thaw this before baking
