- Add green beans to the crockpot and pour the soup mixture over them. Stir to coat evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until green beans are tender.

Notes
Use canned green beans for softer texture and faster cook time (2–3 hours on low).Add sautéed mushrooms or onions for extra flavor and texture.For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and cream soup.Add extra fried onions after reheating to regain crunch.Great for make-ahead—assemble the night before and start cooking the next day.
