Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for 4–6 hours. The slow cooking process will allow the flavors to meld together and the green beans to become tender, but not mushy. If you’re short on time, you can cook them on high for 2–3 hours, but the low setting yields the best results for the most tender beans.
Step 5: Final Touches
Once the green beans are done cooking, give them a gentle stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if needed. You’ll notice that the green beans have absorbed all the savory flavors and will be wonderfully tender, with a slight buttery finish.
