Debbie says
Can you substitute Canned green beans instead of frozen?
Heidi says
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!
Molly Pisula says
Such a great idea to make this in the crockpot! Perfect for the holidays!
Heidi says
Thanks so much, Molly! And yes… it’s definitely a holiday must-have!

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! 🙂
Sophie says
This looks really good, I don’t use my pot anywhere near enough x
Heidi says
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! 🙂

What an interesting use of Evaporated Milk. My husband has just told me (after 25 years) that he does not like green beans! Pity as I love them and would have loved to try this recipe.
Heidi says
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.
