FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What kind of cheese is best to use?

Some people like cheese in their Green Bean Casserole and some don't. We like to use a mixture or parmesan and cheddar for ours. We also use freshly shredded as it melts better, but pre-shredded can also be used. You can play around with your cheese preferences but we have found that this combination works best!

Can I use frozen green beans?

Yes you can. I like to defrost them before adding them to the slow cooker, but adding them frozen will work too it will just add a short bit of time to cooking.

Can other soups be used?

If you are not a fan of cream of mushroom soup you really can use any cream of soup that you'd like. Some others that we have used are cream of chicken soup, cream of celery, cream of potato etc. Feel free to use what you like best.

Can I bake this?

Yes! If you would rather bake this recipe in the oven and have the space, you can absolutely do that. Prepare casserole as directed but in a larger baking pan, about 9x13-inch and bake in your oven for about 35-40 minutes. Add the remaining french fried onions and bake for another 10 minutes until golden.

How do I store leftovers?

This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it should keep for up to 2-3 days. You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave until heated through.
