These Crock Pot Green Beans remind me of green beans at Gramma's house.

Crock Pot Green Beans

29 oz cans Italian cut green beans ((2-14.5 oz cans))

bacon

Tablespoons butter

water (enough

salt and pepper (to taste)

Pour your cans of green beans in your crock pot

Tear up your uncooked bacon into pieces and scatter in your crock pot

Cut up your butter into pats and place evenly around your crock pot

Add enough water to cover your beans by a half inch

Salt and pepper to taste

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours

If you change the blue serving number on the recipe card to 12, it will change the ingredients list to what is needed for 4 cans. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy these as much as we do!

Hello I want to make these for Easter but I need to make like  4 or 5 cans so should I still use 2 slices of bacon? 
Thank you

They are definitely soft, but not mushy. If you would prefer to use fresh green beans, check out this recipe: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/how-to-cook-fresh-green-beans-in-the-crock-pot/. It is super yummy too! Enjoy!

This sounds delicious.  But, if you are using canned beans (which are cooked) do you really need to cook these for 8 hours?  I don't want them to come out mushy.

Hi Angie!

Yes, we use 2 14.5 oz cans of green beans! I hope you and your loved ones enjoy them as much as we do!

Hi Debbie!

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I think of my Gramma every time I make them too. :)

These were wonderful!  Served on Easter. Brought back memories of my MaMaw's green beans! So easy and such grear flavor!

I'll chime in, too.  Water + beef bouillon, and toss in some frozen tri-color vegetables.  (Some combination of green pepper, red pepper, onion, depends on what brand is available where you shop.  They all work.)  With or without bacon.

Hi Cindy!

I did not drain the beans. While I have not tried it with chicken broth instead of water, other readers have and seemed to really like them that way. Enjoy!

Hi Christi!

If you need to have the potatoes cook for the full 8 hours, I would cut them into wedges like you would for a roast. I'm afraid if you cut them too small, they would just fall apart. I haven't tried it though, so let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!

The only change I would try, would be to use ham hocks in lieu of bacon.
