Hi Stephanie! I just made these for Christmas dinner for the entire family and it was a HUGE hit! This will definitely be a new addition for holiday family dinners. I will have to double next time since it was gone. I made mine in the crock pot and would do it again. Thank you again for sharing this amazing recipe!
Does the sauce thicken when you make them in the crockpot? How long did you cook them and on low, I presume?
If I don't like soy sauce do you think I could just use chicken broth?
yes I made these last night…Yummy!
If I half the recipe does it still cook for 40 mins in a 350 degree oven?
Two questions. Does it matter if it's salted or unsalted butter? Can I halve/half this recipe? Thank you!
I always use unsalted butter. You can definitely half the recipe. Enjoy!
Do you use salted or unsalted butter
I used unsalted
Made these today….they're delish!!!!!
cant wait to try this…should i cover the pan when baking? thank you for sharing
I bake them uncovered- Enjoy!
Can I use "slow cook" on my pressure cooker for these? I have no room in my oven..kathryn
I think they would be fine in the slow cooker. 🙂

Just want to confirm that 5 cans of green beans isn't a typo – ? – didn't think all of that would fit in a 9×13 … Also, if cooked in a crockpot what temp and how long would it cook? Thank you!
5 can of green beans – no typo.
I've never made this in the slow cooker. I wouldn't think it would take long to cook in one. Let me know if you try it!
Just want to confirm – Is 5 cans of green beans a typo? Wouldn't think all of this would fit in a 9×13. Also, if you cook this in a crockpot, what do you put it on (mins for high or low)? Thank you!
