Notes

Make ahead of time. Assemble your green bean casserole through Step 2 up to 48 hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Be sure to wait to add the fried onions until the last 5 minutes of baking, otherwise, they will get soggy.

Slow cooker directions. Lightly spray the slow cooker with cooking spray. Combine green beans, soups, milk, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2–3 hours, or on high for 1 hour. Meanwhile, bake fried onions in a 350 degrees F oven for 5 minutes. Transfer green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with fried onions.

To use fresh green beans. Use 3–4 cups trimmed, halved green beans instead of the canned beans. Fresh green beans are more crispy, but if you like the softer texture found in canned green beans, you can pre-boil them first for 7–8 minutes. If using a slow cooker, cooking time may be longer with fresh green beans.
