    1. Heidi says:

      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! 🙂

  2. Sophie says:

    This looks really good, I don’t use my pot anywhere near enough x

    1. 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! 🙂

  3. Aarthi | Prepbowls says:

    Haven’t made Casserole with green beans, your recipe looks delicious!! Like how you have used cream of mushroom, and fried onions to finish it off. I’m going to bookmark this recipe, thanks for sharing it Heidi!!

    1. Heidi says:

      You’re very welcome, Aarthi! It really does have so many fun flavors and textures with every bite… I hope you love it!

  4. Balvinder says:

    Aw YUM! Green Bean Casserole is my absolute favorite and your version sounds even more delicious. I don’t eat bacon but my daughter loves it.

    1. Heidi says:

      Thank you so much, Balvinder! Have a lovely rest of your week!

  5. CoCo says:

    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

    1. Heidi says:

      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!

  7. Sakuranko says:

    OMG everything looks so yummy
    xx

    1. Heidi says:

      Aww… thank you! 🙂

  8. Tandy | Lavender and Lime says:

    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.

    1. 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.

  9. Natalia says:

    Yummy and creamy!

    1. Heidi says:

      Thank you, Natalia… it really is such a creamy comfort food side dish for the holidays! 🙂

  10. Michelle | Sift & Simmer says:

    Bacon makes everything tasty! This recipe looks so simple and delicious, Heidi! My favourite part is the fried onions!

    1. Heidi says:

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