      Hi Debbie, I know some people have made this using canned green beans. It would affect the cook time though, as it would be done faster. I’ve never made it myself this way, so I’m unable to tell you how long to cook it, but just keep an eye on it. If you do give it a try… let me know how it goes!

      Oh yes, Aimsy… you will love having a crockpot ~ they come in so handy, and are so nice to keep your oven free to cook and bake other things! 🙂

      Thanks, Sophie! I know… there really are so many versatile ways to use the crock pot, and it’s so great when it can free up oven space, too! 🙂

    Green bean casserole is one of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving dishes, Heidi! I’ve never had it with bacon though so I’m super excited to make this for my family. My Dad LOVES bacon so I know he’s going to be over the moon for this recipe! Hugs, CoCo

      Isn’t it such a fun dish to look forward to every year, CoCo? And if your dad loves bacon, he’ll really love that addition this year. 🙂 Have a wonderful week!

      Oh that’s so sad, Tandy! And about the milk… I love using evaporated milk in crockpot recipes, because it just seems to cook better… regular milk is quicker to curdle.

      It really does, Michelle… everything is better with bacon! And I agree… the crunchy fried onions are my favorite, too! 🙂
