Cris here.  I absolutely love garden green beans and I love cooking them all day in my slow cooker. Mikey made you a video of this deliciously simple recipe.

This recipe is so easy and perfect for cooking up a big batch of green beans for a potluck or as a delicious side dish for a weeknight dinner. The bacon, onion and broth along with the cooked down beans create an amazing dish that will take you back to grandma’s kitchen table.  In my opinion, these slow cooker green beans take comfort food to a whole new level.

Ingredients for Fresh Green Beans in Crock Pot

15 oz Jar Cocktail Pearl Onions – drained
2.5 oz Real Bacon Pieces
2 lbs Green Beans – washed and trimmed fresh
8 cups Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper to taste

How to make Fresh Green Beans in the Slow Cooker

Place all the ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on high for 8-10 hours

Notes on Cooking Fresh Green Beans

  • We use cocktail onions and bacon bits to make this a dump and go recipe. You can fry up regular bacon and crumble and slice up a yellow onion instead if you would prefer.
  • You will need a large slow cooker 6 qt or larger to hold all your beans.
  • If you are using fresh beans from the garden you will want to wash and trim your beans beforehand. If you cannot get your hands on some fresh beans from the garden, you can oftentimes find them at the grocery store in the produce aisle.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • 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.

      If we can’t eat pork what else could we season with?

      I haven’t tried this without the bacon, but you might tried turkey or beef smoked sausage. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

    Can you cook this on a low setting? If so how many hours would you recommend?
    For a noon meal setting the crock pot on high would mean getting up at 2am to start it. Can I cook it longer and set it low the day before?

      Hi Jennifer!

      We haven’t tried cooking this on low before, but think it could possibly work. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes! Enjoy!

      Hi David-
      I am not really sure. I haven’t tried it. I bet you could freeze them pretty easily.

      Hi Albert-
      I’ve got some good news! If you click on the blue “8” in the “servings” section of the recipe card, it lets you adjust the servings. You will need to use a smaller slow cooker than listed in the recipe if you reduce the servings, but it should allow you to be able to adjust most of our recipes to your needs. Hope that helps!
