Turkey taking up all the oven space? Don’t stress—this slow-cooker green bean casserole will save you from a Thanksgiving dinner dilemma. The technique is simple: Toss the main ingredients into your slow cooker and leave it be.

Top with bread crumbs or croutons for a crunchy contrast to the creamy beans, and you’ve got a classic that can’t be beat!
