Crock Pot Green Bean Casserole

Most recipes call for canned or frozen green beans but we prefer to use fresh green beans. {You know Bob… everything fresh.} I was able to grab some green beans by price matching them for $.89 a pound, which was over $1 a pound savings.

I love the smell of onions and garlic cooking {who doesn’t… right} so this dish started off on the right foot for me. My mixture was a little dry so I added an extra pat of butter so keep some nearby if yours does too.

So now we have onions and garlic in my concoction and now we are adding sour cream. OH MY! I love sour cream dishes. Forget the low fat stuff as sometimes you just need that full flavor.

I popped the lid off to see this crusty concoction that smelled amazing! Bob walked by and said, “Wow, that was made in a Crock-Pot!?” {He’s not a fan of Crock-Pot cooking… silly man!}

The final result was tasty tasty tasty. This green bean recipe is a for a sure do-over with the ease of processes {and of course the cost to make}. My daughter said this was by far her favorite recipe and she’s a tough food critic.
