FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
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!
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.
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.
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 9×13-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.
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.

I’m actually getting tired of green bean casserole. Never thought I’d say that! But this one looks good. I’ll have to try it!
Ha! I totally understand. I really love it and I’m not sure why I only make it once a year. I guess it just tastes better at Thanksgiving! 🙂
