CAN I SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING FOR THE SOY SAUCE?

Of course, coconut aminos sauce is a perfect replacement. It is soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

CAN FRENCH CUT GREENBEANS?

Yes, but it will change the texture. I like a thicker cut green bean recipe.

To make the clean up even easier do not forget to use a crock pot liner such as this one.

SHOULD I USE CANNED GREEN BEANS?

Truly, you can use frozen or fresh for this recipe, however, I find that the canned really taste the best.
