Very yummy green beans! I made these for Thanksgiving and it turned out great! I like that they cook in a crockpot to save room for other dishes on the stovetop and oven! When serving them, I noticed that it was liquidy at the bottom of the crockpot, so I didn't serve the juices. Everyone loved them. Thanks for the great recipe, it will be used again for more holidays!
