Crockpot Southern-Style Green Beans

Southern-Style Green Beans made in the crockpot slow cooked to side dish heaven. Made with fresh green beans and loads of delicious bacon for all my bacon lovers out there!

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pound thick cut bacon (.5 pound of you want to cut back the bacon)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 4 sprigs thyme
  • salt
  • pepper
  1. Chop the yellow onion.
  2. Wash and trim the green beans.
  3. Chop your bacon and cook in a pan on a medium heat until crispy.
  4. Place on a paper towels to the side.
  5. Dispose of excess bacon grease. I always place my bacon grease into a mug and let it harden before throwing away.
  6. Place the same pan back on the burner and cook your onion for 3 minutes.
  7. Add the green beans for another 2 minutes tossing often.
  8. Place the green beans and onion into the crockpot. Add in a dash of salt, pepper, HALF the cooked bacon, broth and thyme.

    Can this be made a day in advance? Or will it get mushy?

      You would have to reheat it so I don’t think it would be a waste of time? You could prep everything the day before and then toss it all in the crockpot day of.
