FAQs
Can I use frozen green beans instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen green beans can be used. Add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent them from becoming too soft.
Is it possible to make this recipe on the stovetop?
While designed for the crockpot, you can simulate slow cooking on the stovetop by simmering everything in a covered pot on low heat for about 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
