Fall is all about comfort food for me, and there is no better comfort food than a big dish of cheesy, creamy, tender green bean casserole to go along with my Tyson® chicken!

Even though I use all kinds of fresh and homemade ingredients in recipes, I’ll take all the help and shortcuts I can during crazy, busy weekdays. And frankly, I feel less guilty because I know that Tyson chicken products are made with a long-standing dedication to quality, for the way we want to eat today. Tyson has a strong heritage, raising Chickens since 1935. Plus, they are made with 100% all natural ingredients (no artificial ingredients, minimally processed) and raised with no antibiotics ever. I always make sure to pick up a bag of Tyson chicken when I’m shopping at Walmart!

A great side dish idea to accompany Tyson chicken is this Slow Cooker Easy Green Bean Casserole!

Yes, I said green beans!!

In my opinion, it’s time to give the ever-so-underrated green bean casserole the respect it deserves. Not only for Thanksgiving but also as a great side dish idea for weeknight dinners.

This Slow Cooker Easy Green Bean Casserole recipe is definitely one of my go-to recipes when I’m trying to get my family to love veggies. Sometimes that is not an easy task, but when I serve these green beans there is not a single bean left.

They are sooo good!!

The only green bean casserole recipe you’ll ever need.

I like to serve these babies up on busy weeknights as well as for the holidays. These green beans are so easy to make.

You can pair this recipe with just about anything, but I especially love to serve it with Tyson chicken nuggets for the kids. Add some fruit, and I have one delicious and simple meal for any night of the week!

Specially marked No Antibiotics Ever Tyson chicken products can be found at any Walmart. They always have a great selection!

Here are some variations you can apply to this recipe:

• Instead of smoked Gouda, you can use shredded cheddar, white cheddar or mozzarella.
• If you don’t want to use a canned soup, simply cook 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons flour until it forms a paste, then whisk 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar until smooth. Add this mixture to the potatoes instead of the canned cheddar soup.
• Make it your own!! Change toppers according to your family taste. Some ideas: potato chips, nuts, mini cheese crackers, crisp bacon, mini pretzels, panko breadcrumbs, etc.
• Not a big chestnut fan? No problem!! Substitute chestnut for mushrooms, red pepper or green onion –whatever floats your boat.
