Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet with the bacon grease and stir over low heat until smooth and combined.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, stirring until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.
Transfer the trimmed green beans to the crock pot. Pour the prepared cheesy sauce over the top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans and sauce.
Scatter the cooked bacon pieces over the top of the mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the green beans are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Stir well before serving to coat the green beans evenly in the cheesy bacon sauce. Serve hot.
