Ingredients
- 1 cup diced onion I used frozen diced onion as a shortcut
- 5 slices Canadian bacon diced (or you can use 5 slices of regular bacon, diced)
- 48 ounces frozen French-style green beans (see note below for fresh green beans) about 15 cups
- 1 tablespoon plus ¼ cup butter 5 tablespoons total
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add bacon and onion to the skillet and sautee until onion is tender and bacon is starting to brown.
- Transfer bacon and onion to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add frozen green beans to the slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup melted butter, brown sugar, garlic salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over green beans.
- Toss to coat the green bean mixture with the sauce.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 1-2 hours.
Notes
Cooking for a Smaller Family? Use a small 3-quart slow cooker and cut the ingredients in half. The cooking instructions remain the same.
Using fresh green beans instead? I suggest cooking fresh green beans on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours.
