Crockpot green beans and potatoes in a slow cooker with text overlay easy green beans and potatoes Thanksgiving recipes for easy Thanksgiving sides

Crockpot Green Beans & Potatoes

If you need one quick and easy Friendsgiving recipe for slow cookers, this is the best recipe because green beans and potatoes in the  crockpot is one of those easy crockpot dump recipes.

I love that you can make this as a green bean recipe with bacon or with leftover Thanksgiving ham the day after.

Or, you can leave out the meat and make it as a Friendsgiving vegetarian crock pot recipe.

This is also one of those easy crock pot meals for a crowd. Just double the recipe (or triple it!).

 

RECIPE TIP: You can use canned green beans or fresh green beans, but in the recipe printable I talk about my absolute favorite green beans to use for this recipe and I think it makes a huge difference in flavor!

 

To make slow cooker green beans and potatoes for Friendgiving dinner, you’ll need:

  • Potatoes (yellow potatoes, white potatoes, red potatoes, or new potatoes)
  • Green beans – canned green beans or fresh beans
  • Minced garlic
  • Bacon or ham or ham hock – optional, or leave out for vegetarian Friendsgiving recipes (leftover ham works great)
  • Chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Thanksgiving Corn Casserole Crockpot Recipes CREAMY CORN PUDDING

Jiffy Crockpot Corn Pudding in the Slow Cooker

This corn side dish is the classic Jiffy corn casserole that everyone loves. Plus, it’s a side that works with every meat dish (even if you’re not making Thanksgiving turkey) or is great for a vegetarian side dish.

 

IMPORTANT RECIPE NOTE: One thing that I’ve learned over many, many years of making this casserole with corn in many different slow cookers is that the cook time depends on your specific crockpot. This recipe cooks faster in my crock pot than it does in my moms. I recommend doing a trial run of this recipe before your Thanksgiving party or harvest party so you can adjust the cook time to your particular slow cooker.

 

To make slow cooker cream corn pudding for Friendsgiving dinner, you’ll need:

  • Corn muffin mix (like Jiffy corn muffin mix) or your favorite cornbread mix
  • Creamed corn (cream-style corn)
  • Sour cream or cream cheese
  • Whole kernel corn (or fresh corn cut off cob for that sweet corn flavor)
  • Eggs
  • Melted Butter

Southwest Crock Pot Sweet Potato Soup with Chicken

Thanksgiving Sweet Potato & Chicken Soup

This recipe for crock pot sweet potatoes soup is a family favorite in my house!

The sweet potatoes make it a perfect Thanksgiving soup for your Friendsgiving party.

This is a hearty soup recipe that makes it more like a stew which, in my opinion, makes it the perfect cold day comfort food recipe.

Southwest sweet potato and chicken soup is a semi-spicy soup (adjust your own spice flavorings) that can also be made without chicken for no meat soups and vegetarian 

The cornbread dumplings are completely optional, but I really think it adds to this soup for a complete meal. I never make this slow cooker soup without them now!
