This recipe has become every Holidays most requested side. Some say it’s better than green bean casserole. Don’t shoot the messenger lol.
Do the veggies get mushy? 3 hours seems like a long cooking time for vegetables.
Can I make this in the oven ? If so how long to cook it if triple one double
Is there a version using potatoes or frozen diced potatoes?
Can you add French Fried Onions to this near the end of the cooking time?
Yes you can do that.
can you use fresh vegetables?
You can but you may have to adjust cooking time. I think raw veggies would take longer.
Can I add pasta to stretch this recipe?
Yeah you can do that!
I made this for a church potluck, it was a huge success! I have been asked to bring it every dinner since. This recipe is a keeper!
Thanks Joni!
Do you thaw the vegetables?
No I did not thaw before.
I’m doubling the recipe for a family Christmas party. And I have a 3.5 quart Crockpot. Will my Crockpot size be able to handle the double recipe?
Can this be made in the oven? I only have 1 slow cooker and I am using it. 🙁
