Just 4 ingredients, turn green beans into a slow cooker side people go crazy for

How to Make It

1. Layer it up: Place the green beans in your slow cooker. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the top.
2. Add flavor: Sprinkle the brown sugar over everything, then drizzle with soy sauce.
3. Let it cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, or until the green beans are tender and the bacon is fully cooked. Give everything a good stir before serving.

The Result

What comes out of the slow cooker is more than the sum of its parts. The green beans are tender and flavorful, the bacon is perfectly savory, and the sauce is a mouthwatering blend of sweet, salty, and smoky. It’s no wonder people go back for seconds—and thirds.

Perfect Pairings

This side dish goes well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or even as a part of a holiday spread. It’s also easy to double for a crowd, and it travels well—perfect for potlucks or family dinners.
