by

Directions

  1. Combine: Place the trimmed green beans, onion, and garlic in your slow cooker. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

  2. Add Liquids & Bacon: Pour the chicken broth over the beans and scatter the chopped bacon on top.

  3. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beans are very tender.

  4. Serve: Use a slotted spoon to serve the beans, leaving the excess liquid behind in the slow cooker.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic is in the slow braise. Simmering the green beans for hours with smoky bacon and savory broth transforms them from crisp and bright to melt-in-your-mouth tender, packed with deep, comforting flavor. It’s the ultimate easy, hands-off side dish for any gathering.
