SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES

Slow Cooker Green Beans, Ham and Potatoes image

I make this dish often; I have never really measured the ingredients, but can give you a reasonable approximation. Note: Freeze leftover cooking liquid, and then add to bean soup, ham or cabbage dishes, or use to cook dumplings in. It's delicious!

Time 4h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 large onion, chopped
3 ham hocks
1 ½ pounds new potatoes, quartered
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Halve beans if they are large, place in a slow cooker with water to barely cover, and add onion and ham hocks. Cover, and cook on High until simmering. Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until beans are crisp but not done.
Add potatoes, and cook for another 45 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, remove ham hocks from slow cooker, and remove meat from bones. Chop or shred meat, and return to slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then adjust seasoning to taste.
To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth.

HAM, GREEN BEANS, AND POTATOES (SLOW COOKER)

Ham, Green Beans, and Potatoes (Slow Cooker) image

This is my first original recipe, but I welcome criticism! (although my boyfriend had thirds and then passed out on the couch). I knew I wanted to cook ham shanks in the crock pot, but I couldn't find any recipes that were quite what I was looking for. The ingredients I listed here will fill a 3 quart pot, but I imagine quantities are flexible.

Time 8h15m

Yield 3 quarts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (1 1/2 lb) ham shank (a ham hock may be acceptable, but it doesn't have as much meat)
3 -4 large potatoes, peeled (or not)
1 lb fresh green beans, rinsed with the ends cut off
1 cup chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can green beans, juice extracted (NOTE ( I only use the juice from the canned beans, not the beans themselves)
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Place whole ham shank in slow cooker.
2. Cover ham with prepared fresh green beans and potatoes.
3. Pour chicken broth and canned green bean juice over all ingredients.
4. Top with salt and pepper.
5. Cook on low 7-8 hours.
6. In the last hour of cooking, remove the bone from the ham shank. The meat should fall off pretty easily (or at least be close to it). Keep meat in slow cooker and continue cooking for 30 minutes.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a good quality ham. Choose a ham that is fully cooked and has a mild flavor.
If you don't have any ham on hand, you can use diced or shredded chicken, beef, or pork as a substitute.
Use fresh green beans for the best results. If you only have frozen green beans, thaw them before using.
You can use any type of potatoes for this recipe, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes work especially well.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this recipe in a Dutch oven over low heat.
Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or rolls to soak up all the delicious juices.

Conclusion:

This easy slow cooker ham, green beans, and potatoes recipe is a great way to enjoy a delicious and hearty meal with minimal effort. Simply throw all of the ingredients in your slow cooker and let it cook all day. When you're ready to eat, you'll have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
