Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 package (10.3 oz) beef hot dogs
1 block (8 oz) Cheddar cheese
1 lb ground beef (at least 85% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE



Slow Cooker Green Bean Casserole image

I was on a search for a slow cooker green bean casserole to take to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I couldn't find one I liked, so I mixed and matched and came up with this one! It was so good that I didn't have any leftovers. Happily fed 8 adults and 3 children. Use different spices for your taste! I added some onion powder and Italian seasonings. After you serve, leave the lid off of the slow cooker so the french-fried onions remaining crispy on top. You could also use cream of mushroom soup in place of the cream of chicken.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: For a succulent casserole, select a cut of meat that is well-marbled with fat. This will help keep the meat moist and tender during the slow cooking process.
  • Brown the meat before slow cooking: This step adds a delicious layer of flavor and helps to lock in the juices. Simply brown the meat over medium-high heat in a large skillet until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your casserole, the more nutritious and flavorful it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Add some herbs and spices: A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your casserole. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and cumin.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to slow cooker casseroles. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique recipes.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker casseroles are a delicious, easy, and versatile way to feed your family a home-cooked meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a casserole that everyone will love.
