Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. First things first, assemble all of your ingredients in one place. This will make your cooking smoother, and you won’t be scrambling at the last minute.
Step 2: Mix Your Base
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well integrated, creating a creamy mixture that will become the heart of your casserole.
Step 3: Add the Green Beans
  1. Now, gently fold in the drained green beans into your creamy mixture. Ensure that all the beans are coated effectively. It’s like giving each green bean a cozy hug of soup!
Step 4: Transfer to the Crockpot
  1. Pour your mixture into your crockpot. Spread it evenly; no one wants clumps of beans on one side.
Step 5: Cook
  1. Cover your crockpot and set it on low heat. Allow it to cook for around 5 to 6 hours. The slow heat will do wonders.
Step 6: Final Touch
  1. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the crispy fried onions over the top. This crispy crown will soak up all the deliciousness while maintaining that crunch we crave.

Notes

Here are some nifty tips to elevate your crockpot green bean casserole game:
  • Prep Ahead: You can mix all the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. Just pop them in the crockpot the next day.
  • Adjust Seasonings: Feel free to play with the seasoning to match your taste buds.
  • Add Protein: Want more substance? Mix in some shredded chicken or turkey during the last hour of cooking.
  • Be Mindful of Cook Time: Different crockpots operate differently. If you’re unsure, check early to prevent overcooking.
Use Fresh Ingredients: If you prefer, use fresh green beans instead of canned. Just blanch them first to keep that lovely green color.
