A Crockpot Green Bean Casserole with Bacon is a better way to make a classic! It’s easy to make ahead, free up your oven when cooking a big meal, or set it & forget it on a busy day.

Classic Green Bean Casserole in a Crockpot

There’s a couple elements that make this recipe better than a classic green bean casserole. I’m a huge fan of crockpots & this recipe only gets better as it’s converted to Crockpot Green Bean Casserole with Bacon.

The best parts of this recipe are:

  1. It’s made in a crockpot (cooks & mixes the flavors perfectly)
  2. It has bacon!

Whether you’re crazy about green bean casserole or just looking for a dish to make for a potluck or weeknight dinner: you’ll fall in love with this crockpot green bean casserole with bacon.

This is one of our favorite meals around the holidays, and it’s a no-brainer for holiday potlucks or even as a side dish to a Thanksgiving feast.

Why Make It In a Crockpot?

It’s more flavorful:

Compared to cooking it in the oven, this recipe simmers in the crockpot for 4 hours. This allows the flavors to combine & mix perfectly. I really think this makes the recipe more flavorful than cooking it in the coven.

It’s easy to make ahead of time & keep warm:

  • If you’re making this recipe ahead of time to bring somewhere (party/potluck/etc.) it’s easy to bring it in the crockpot and simply keep it on the ‘warm’ setting until it’s time to eat.
  • Another benefit of this is that you can make this for a big holiday dinner and free up your oven.
  • OR even make it for dinner on a busy day and keep it warm until you’re ready to eat.

      You can use canned green beans and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours! Be sure to drain the canned beans first too 🙂
