Bacon makes everything better including this Slow Cooker Bacon Green Bean Casserole.
Hi all! I hadn’t planned on making new green bean casserole on the blog until I saw the cream of bacon soup at the store, which is new this year. This post is not sponsored by the soup, I’m just really excited to share the news. I thought the soup tasted like real bacon, not fake or over smokey. If you can’t find the cream of bacon, cream of mushroom will work just fine.

Can I use frozen green bean? If so does that change cook time?
Frozen green beans thaw pretty quick. I would add 30 minutes to the recipe.
Can I use canned beans and if so, does that change cook time?
Yes, I would do for 2.5 hours on high.
Doubled this for Christmas and was honestly surprised at how much we liked it. Looking for ways to lighten it up to convince my family to eat vegetables throughout the rest of the year lol.
When do you add the other half of the bacon?
Half at the beginning and half right before serving.
Do you cook the bacon until crispy?
Yes.
I love fresh mushrooms but do not like the canned soup so, I think that I will use cream of chicken. I am certain that this would be so very good, there is something about cream of chicken soup that gives a rich taste to recipes. I also use cream of chicken soup in a chicken casserole with a white Sautern wine, the taste is decadent and is outstanding. Love cooking with wine. It seems to make recipes more tasty and interesting.
The recipe calls for Cream of Bacon. Cream of Mushroom is an alternative, if you can’t find the Cream of Bacon. I made it last year, it’s phenomenal with Cream of Bacon.
Is there a recommendation for using the oven instead of a crockpot?
Hi Sarah, I do not test my recipes in the oven so I can’t give advice. I apologize.
