Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole
(110 calories | *3 WW SmartPoints)
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.
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 cooker 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, *3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *3 WW Freestyle SmartPoints. Enjoy!
