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.

      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.

        You can make it ahead of time but don’t cook it until the day you need it.

      Do you mean dice the bacon instead of slice in green bean casserole?

        No, I sliced it before cooking. It cooks up small.

        Yes, I always do. You can brown the onions in a skillet right before serving.

      Hello, have you ever tried cooking this on the low setting? Or do you recommend high?

      Reply
      • Sarah Olson says

        November 19, 2018 at 9:01 am

        Low setting would probably be 5 hours on low. I think it would do fine.

      How about cooking this in a 2.5 slow cooker? Just halve all ingredients?

      Why use a separate bowl for mixing when you can do it in the crock pot? The less we have to wash, the better!

      Only two changes – I would have to use Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom because it has no MSG and the “new” soup does have MSG. I would also not use Frenches dried onions but fresh onions. Other than that – great recipe.
