Crispy, creamy crockpot green bean casserole is beyond easy. It’s just as tasty as the original oven-baked classic!
This is a slow cooker version of one of my favorite dishes – and you can make this version before any guests arrive!
Gotta Love a Slow Cook Dish!
We are big fans of Green Bean Casserole in our home. We stock up on fried onions so we can have it several times throughout the year!
I love having the option to cook this crockpot green bean casserole in a slow cooker.
Why we love it:
- Easy! It’s as easy as dumping in the ingredients, and letting it do its thing.
- Frees up space. It allows more room in the oven for baking other items- perfect for Thanksgiving!
- Tasty. It’s just as good as a baked casserole!

Ingredients
- frozen green beans – Use an equal amount of fresh green beans or 3 (14.5-ounce) cans of green beans, drained.
- cream of mushroom soup – Try Cream of Celery soup, Cream of Chicken soup, or one of my favorites – Cream of Chicken & Mushroom soup
- milk
- grated parmesan cheese – or another favorite like Mozzarella.
- salt
- pepper
- French-fried onions
Minutes to prep!
- COMBINE. Add the green beans to the crock pot. In a medium bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- SOUP MIX. Pour the soup mixture over the green beans and stir to combine. Stir in half of the French fried onions.
- COOK. Cover and cook on LOW heat for 4 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with the remaining French fried onions.
- Crispy top. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread half of the fried onions on a baking pan and bake for 5 min. Sprinkle the onions on top of the casserole when it’s done cooking.
Recipe Tips
Slow cooker green bean casserole is a pretty simple, classic recipe.
- Preheat the crockpot while gathering the ingredients.
- Temperature. LOW heat is about 200°F. One hour on HIGH equals about two hours on low.
- Use the right size crock pot. The beans should fill the pot between ½ and ¾ of the way.
- Avoid removing the lid. It takes 20 minutes for the pot to return to the set temperature.
- Variations.
- Add crumbled bacon or shredded cheese to the top.
Storing Info
Make ahead of time. Prep this casserole ahead of time leaving off the onions. Cover the casserole and refrigerate. When you’re ready, heat the casserole in the crock pot, and add the onions as directed in the recipe.
Keep warm. After cooking, this casserole can be left in the slow cooker on warm for up to 2 hours.
STORE leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or oven. To crisp up the French fried onions, place the leftovers under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

I love your recipes! We just made your Fresh Green Bean Casserole last weekend for a Friendsgiving event and it was a hit! I am planning to make this recipe for Thanksgiving to free up oven space. Can you tell me what size Crock Pot you used for this? Thanks in advance!
Oh thank you so much! I’m glad the casserole was a hit. Either a 5 or 6 quart crock pot would work great for this recipe!
Made this for Thanksgiving. Was so easy to make and tasted delicious.
We love green bean casserole and I love having a way to cook it in the crock pot! I was able to step away from using cans of green beans.
This was delish! My dad even liked it better than the traditional oven baked green bean casserole. Not to mention it made a lot!
Woohoo!! Glad to hear that!! Thank you so much!
Some crockpot recipes call for frozen green bean some canned. I feel like this would make a big difference. Any advice on this?
I use frozen, but honestly, both work. Can’t tell 🙂
You totally saved my stress level for the holidays! Not having to make this in the oven and freeing up that space is such a life saver. Wouldn’t be the holidays without this casserole.
I always run out of oven space during the holiday cooking, so making use of my slow cooker is such a helpful idea. Thank you for sharing!
This is a family tradition for us but I need oven space! So happy to have a crock pot recipe of it.
