Instructions
Steps
Drop the cream cheese into the bowl of your crockpot. Set it to high and let it warm, 5 minutes. Whisk the cream cheese until creamy. Add ½ cup of cream, the broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the green beans and mushrooms. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
Before serving, make the topping. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the shallots/onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add 4 more tablespoons of butter. Cook until the butter begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the panko, corn flakes, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir the green beans, adding additional cream, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Top with fried crumbs. Serve warm!
If you prefer to bake, melt the cream cheese, then simmer ingredients on stove for about 15 mins, then bake at 350°F for 15-20 mins until bubbly and golden. Serve warm.
