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.

I can cook this in warm all day?
I have not tested. It’s not normal to cook on warm. I’m unsure if it gets hot enough to keep bacteria away.
I make this without “cream of soup” instead I make a homemade cream sauce from a product called “table cream”, Chicken bouillon, sauteed shallots, minced garlic, cracked black/ white pepper, Worcestershire and sauzon complete seasoning. Simmer until thickened.
Once thickened, I add in the thawed French style green beans and Frenchies onions along with some crisped bacon; fold to combine. Cook on high for 2.5-3hrs, top with a shredded cheddar, crispy onion and bacon topping just prior to serving. Absolute deliciousness!
In the slow cooker right now. Doing a trial run for Easter dinner. I’ll let you know how it turned out.
I hope you like it!
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.
