Slow Cooker Southern Green Beans

Sharing is caring!

Slow cooker Southern green beans take comfort food to a whole new level.
These green beans are so good, cooked slowly with the onions, garlic and bacon of course. I’ve never been a huge fan of green beans but these are delicious, I make them a lot for our family.

There is just something about adding bacon to vegetables, it creates the best southern side dish. Plus the addition of the diced potato soaks up the juices and tastes delicious.

Tips for making slow cooker green beans

• I use fresh green beans, not canned.
• After rinsing, trim off the ends of the green bean. I usually get the beans that are already prepped and ready in the bags.
• I also prefer to cut my beans in half, but you can leave them long if you want it doesn’t change anything.
• The diced potatoes soaks up the cooking juices and it so good.
• You can toss the cooked bacon in with the beans while it cooks but I like to sprinkle the bacon on top at the end.
