Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed (or 2 16 oz bags frozen green beans, thawed)
1 15 ounce Alfredo sauce
1 8 ounce water chestnuts drained, diced
1 6 ounce mushrooms sliced, drained
1 2 ounce pimentos drained, diced
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 6 ounce French-fried Onions divided
½ cup pecans coarsely chopped

Instructions

If using fresh green beans, first blanch the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes then place in an ice bath to cool. Drain well.
In a large bowl combine the beans, Alfredo sauce, water chestnuts, mushrooms, pimentos, Parmesan, pepper and a third of the French fried onions.
Lightly spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray and add the bean mixture.
Cover and cook on low for 4 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Just prior to serving, toast the remaining French fried onions along with the pecans in a small skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle over casserole and serve.
