Southern-Style Green Beans Made Right in the Crockpot!

Southern-Style Green Beans

Doesn’t a recipe just sound yummier when it starts with “southern-style”? 🙂 These southern-style green beans are no exception! This side dish is the perfect mix of veggie and homestyle, and is so easy to make in your crockpot!

I love making these green beans for Thanksgiving or anytime I need an always-delicious side to pair with a main course.

Toss these in your crockpot and let it do the cooking for you! Here’s how to make this tasty dish.

TIP: This recipe is from our Sides Menu Plans Menu Planning Made Easy set! 

Ingredients:

• Bacon
• Fresh green beans
• Yellow onion
• One potato
• Chicken broth
• Salt & pepper

How to make Southern-Style Green Beans in the Crockpot

Start by dicing 8 slices of bacon and cooking in a skillet on medium heat until bacon is crispy. Add diced yellow onion, and cook until onion is translucent.

Rinse and trim the ends off of two pounds of fresh green beans. Lightly spray your slow cooker with cooking spray and add green beans. Stir in the bacon mixture and diced potatoes. Add two low-sodium chicken broth and salt & pepper to taste.

Cover and cook and low 6 hours.

P.S. I made this at the same time I made the Creamed Corn using these Slow Cooker Dividers. They are SO handy for making multiple foods at once (I was making them out of foil before ) or for keeping many things warm in the crockpot!
