Why is my Green Bean Casserole Soupy?
If you are using canned green beans and you don’t properly drain them, you may find your casserole to be a bit runny. Our trick is using frozen green beans. This makes our recipe more time efficient and you don’t have to worry about extra water ruining the dish!
Can you mix up this casserole the night before?
The best thing about making green bean casserole in a slow cooker is that you can prepare it before you need to cook it. Just put everything in the liner except for the french friend onions, since you don’t want them to be soggy. It can sit in the fridge overnight. When ready to cook, mix in the onions – except for the 1 cup you plan to use as a topping – and turn on your crock pot!
