If you’ve tried this or any other recipe on the blog then don’t forget to rate the recipe and let me know how it turned out in the comments below. Below are pictures and links to the other amazing recipes for this holiday meal. In the recipe, I have given a choice of cooking times because some people like their green beans crunchy, some like them soft so anywhere from 3-4 hours should give you your desired tenderness. The beans cook while you prepare the rest of the meal and it is such a big help. When I’m preparing Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, I like to use the crockpot for as many dish as I can and this is an easy side dish. When you get a bite of green bean with the sweet shallot, a little crunch from the almonds and all of this is coated in the butter and vegetable stock (which makes a nice little sauce), it’s perfection. I like to use toasted almond slices for this recipe because slivered are too thick and give to much of a bite. Add the onions and saute with bacon until transparent. The reason for this is, I don’t like to add raw shallots because they will just not soften enough and might be too overpowering. Instructions Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat until the bacon is fully rendered and crispy. Now, there is a little (just a little) pre-work involved before cooking and it involves the shallots. Usually people add bacon to make them taste better, but this recipe has no bacon and doesn’t need it and makes it perfect for the vegetarian, non-meat eater. I’m not the biggest green bean fan, but this recipe made me devour them. In addition to this green bean casserole recipe, I have for you herb roasted beef tenderloin, cheesy rosemary mashed potato casserole (the best!) and you can’t have roast beef without my homemade creamy horseradish sauce. If you’re all ‘turkeyed out’ from Thanksgiving, then this is the menu for you. This week I am bringing to you a complete, holiday dinner menu consisting of 4 recipes. Green beans are slow cooked in bath of butter and vegetable stock, topped with sweet shallots and toasted almonds. Slow Cooker Green Beans with Shallots and Almonds is the easiest and most delicious holiday side dish.
