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 have a few more holiday recipe coming for you in the next few weeks, please stop back by to see them. I hope you have a great weekend.

Is the 1/2 cup of milk to 1 can of cream of bacon?
Or do i need to mix i can of water to the cream of bacon plus a 1/2 cup of milk?
No, don’t add water. 🙂 I’ll add that to the recipe
Do you mean dice the bacon instead of slice in green bean casserole?
No, I sliced it before cooking. It cooks up small.
has anyone just served straight out of crockpot? want to take to my mom’s and dont want to use ehr oven.
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?
Low setting would probably be 5 hours on low. I think it would do fine.
Can you double this recipe? if so do you cook same amount of time?
I think that would work fine!
I usually do double the recipe; the time stays the same.
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
I’m unsure how that would turn out.
No it becomes watery
Can you tell me how long to cook in the over in a pan for easy travel to party’s
❤️ love this new twist recipe!
Hi BJ, the same as the standard recipe you would find online I would think. 🙂
I cant find fresh green beans for the green bean casserole…. What is cooking time using canned beans?
Probably about 3 hours
I have a crock pot with low med and high. what temp works best
I Barb, I believe High would work. I think your low is keep warm, and medium is low.
what do you recommend when we cant find fresh green beans?
I’ve used frozen green beans before!
How about cooking this in a 2.5 slow cooker? Just halve all ingredients?
Great recipe Sarah! Saves me much needed oven space! Making this for Christmas dinner. Thank you.
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.
