Name: Green Bean Crockpot Casserole
Cuisine: American

3 steps

The easy way to make an updated green bean casserole using a casserole crockpot. Jarred alfredo sauce and fresh baby portabella mushrooms make it easy from the pantry and updated to earthy mushrooms with cheese added as a surprise. You can experiment with flavors of alfredo sauce and with kinds of cheese. I'm thinking that shredded swiss would be a great idea. If you don't have a casserole slow cooker, any slow cooker will probably do (just put on a serving dish before adding the final french fried onions). Optionally, you can add 1/2 cup chopped nuts such as pecans to the last half of the the french fried onions and toast before spreading on top.
