The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.recipe tips
Trimming the green beans before adding them to the crock pot provides a more uniform texture in the final dish.
For added flavor, saute the mushrooms in a skillet before adding them to the crock pot.
If using frozen green beans, be sure to adjust the cooking time as they will cook faster than fresh beans.
To make this dish more indulgent, you can sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for extra flavor.

I've loved green bean casserole ever since I was a kid, but usually had the kind with canned green or string beans in them. This recipe was good, but was a little on the bland side. Nothing that can't be fixed with a few creative spices and seasoning ideas! Perhaps doubling the French fried onions would do it too.
