WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole
I've been making green bean casserole, the classic one from Campbell's with cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce and french fried onions, for years.
WW Friendly Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole
And not just at holiday time.
But I didn't make it for Thanksgiving this year.
There was too much other food.
Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole Recipe Notes
I waited until this week to make a slow cooker green bean casserole so we could enjoy it.
You knew it had to be a slow cooker green bean casserole, right?
Making a green bean casserole in my crock pot was another first.
To change things up even more, I used fresh green beans and mushrooms and went light with the french fried onions.
I didn't add milk, the mushrooms and green beans gave off plenty of liquid.
I think the best thing about this slow cooked green bean casserole is that the green beans manage to retain a bit of crunch.

Martha Underwood
Martha, first off, your recipes are my favorite WW reciepes of all the websites. I have one question. I just updated my tracker and the new WW plan no longer has green, blue and purple plans. I answered the questions and got a points budget. Since there are no longer the colored plans but your own personal plan, do I need to re-calculate all the points of your recipes with the Create a Recipe? Thank you.

Hi Martha, We are planning to create links for all our recipes to the Recipe Builder so you will be able to see your points value. ~Martha
