Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole

Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole with tender green beans, mushrooms, and french-fried onions has all the delicious flavors of your favorite Thanksgiving side dish but without the work!

Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole has been a regular on our Thanksgiving Day dinner for many years now. In fact, I first posted this recipe on November 23, 2013. The recipe is from Stephanie O’Dea’s 365 Slow Cooker Suppers cookbook which Rachel Ray featured on her show that November. We tried it for our Thanksgiving feast that year and have been making it every year since!

This green bean casserole is indeed a life stress saver especially during the frenzy of holiday prep. After the short work of sauteing the mushrooms and making the cream sauce, it finishes off in the crockpot thus freeing up the stove and the cook for other things on the menu. It has all the delicious flavors of your favorite Thanksgiving side dish but without the work!

The best part is, you can easily double the servings for a large gathering. Loaded with tender green beans, mushrooms, creamy sauce, and crispy french-fried onions, I highly suggest you do. Your guests are sure to be crowding around your slow cooker wanting seconds!
