Green, bean, and supremely Amish, this casserole is the talk of every potluck! | March 22, 2025

This slow cooker Amish green bean casserole is a comforting dish that brings a touch of nostalgia to your dinner table. Growing up in the Midwest, green bean casseroles were a staple at family gatherings, especially during the holidays. The Amish version is a bit heartier, with a creamy sauce and a hint of smokiness from bacon. It’s perfect for those busy days when you want a home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Just toss everything in the slow cooker before heading to work, and come home to a delicious, ready-to-eat dish.
This casserole pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or a simple meatloaf. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh garden salad and some crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce. If you’re hosting a holiday dinner, it complements turkey or ham beautifully, adding a rich and savory element to your spread.
