Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (908g) green beans trimmed
  • 8 slices cooked bacon cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 cup (118ml) chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter or bacon drippings
  • 1 onion sliced and sautéed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic puree
  • Salt to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients into the crockpot.
  • Mix, cover and cook on high for 2 1/2 -3 1/2 hours, without opening the lid.

Notes

  • Make sure to snap the top and tail of your fresh green beans. 
  • If using salted butter, you may not need to add much salt. Be sure to salt to taste as necessary. 
  • Make sure your onion is cooked before adding to the slow cooker. 
  • If you’re cooking your own bacon, you can cook some onion for this. 
  • These beans are best served warm. As they cool, the butter and bacon fat will congeal, so enjoy them while they’re warm. 
  • Remember to stir gently so the beans don’t fall apart. 
  • If you like softer green beans, opt for the longer cook time. 
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size, make, and model of your slow cooker. Make sure to consult your manual as necessary.  
  • There are 3 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
