Slow Cooker Green Beans with Bacon

Side dishes are the most fun part of any meal, wouldn’t you say? I think this is where we get to be the most flexible and creative. During busy weeknights, our side dishes are usually limited to one, possibly two dishes, most like a veggie of some sort.

Years ago I shared my Nana’s Green Beans recipe with you all and the response was amazing. Many of you wrote in asking if the green beans could be made in the slow cooker and the answer to that is a resounding YES.

In fact, I make them this way all the time now. It’s something I can get started in the morning  and they’re ready to go by dinner. I just love that.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I have come to rely on my slow cooker more and more over the years as my schedule has gotten more and more chaotic. Many of our favorite meals are made in the slow cooker including Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches and this Slow Cooker Shrimp Boil.

What Is Needed for this Crockpot Green Beans Recipe

These green beans don’t need a lot of ingredients which is pretty impressive considering the big flavor. The slow cooker does a lot of the work for you, melding the flavors together and creating an environment that allows the green beans to just soak in the flavor of the bacon and potatoes.

My family prepares these southern style green beans all year long. My Nana would frequently make them with potatoes, like I’ve done here today but the potato is not super necessary if you’re opposed.

I’ll be making these green beans next week for Thanksgiving and then just a few weeks after that for Christmas. My family wouldn’t have it any other way.
