Slow Cooker Amish Green Bean Casserole

If using fresh green beans, wash and trim the ends, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen, simply thaw them for quicker cooking.

2. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined.

3. Layer the Casserole in the Slow Cooker:
Place the green beans in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the green beans, spreading it out evenly.

Stir the mixture gently to coat the green beans with the sauce.

4. Slow Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the green beans are tender and the sauce is bubbling.

5. Add the Topping:
About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the French fried onions over the top of the casserole, then drizzle with the melted butter if using.

Continue cooking for the remaining time until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:
Stir the casserole gently before serving, and enjoy the creamy, savory flavors of this classic dish!
