How to Make Bacon Green Beans and Potatoes in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

Many of our readers love my Crock Pot Green Beans and Potatoes recipe. We have had a couple readers tell us they love adding bacon to that recipe, and that sounded like a great idea to me! So now you have the original version of this recipe or this one with an extra layer of flavor.

I love how the bacon flavor cooks into the green beans and potatoes. It really makes this side dish pop and is a great addition to so many different dinners. These would go great with anything from chicken or beef to pork or even fish! Whatever you decide to pair this delicious side dish with, I hope you and your loved ones enjoy it as much me and my loved ones do!

General Notes

  • If you haven’t ever used bacon in a recipe like this, you will want to note that it will not look the same as when you fry bacon. It won’t crisp up and get really dark in color like it does when you fry it. It will be soft and pink, but after cooking in a crock pot for as long as it takes for your potatoes to soften up, it is indeed cooked. It just looks different than when fried.

  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

      I haven’t tried this with fresh or frozen green beans. It might work, but I can’t say for sure without testing it first. If you give it a try, watch it closely the first time you make to adjust the cooking time as needed.

We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
