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.

And not just at holiday time.

But I didn’t make it for Thanksgiving this year.

There was too much other food.

The Skinny on Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole

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.

According to my calculations, each serving has about 110 calories and:
