Provided by Savory With Soul

Categories     Main Course

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound pork hock ((also called ham hock) (or 2 cups cooked ham chunks))
36 ounces green beans (, fresh or frozen (in bite-size pieces))
3 cups water
4 large potatoes (, yellow or red, skin on, cut in bite-size chunks)
1 Tbsp thyme (, dry)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt (, more to taste)
¼ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp ground cinnamon
oil (, just a drizzle (about 1-2 Tablespoons))

Steps:

  • Add the ham hock (or ham chunks) to the bottom of the crock pot, then pour in the green beans, water, and potato chunks. Don't cut the potatoes too large, or they will have a hard time getting done when everything else is ready. I like to go for 1 inch or smaller.
  • Next, you will add the thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cloves, and cinnamon. Mix together thoroughly, and then drizzle with a bit of oil (1-2 tablespoons) before covering.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours. This all depends on whether you'll be home or not and how quickly you need it to be done. Don't overcook, as the green beans will turn to mush. You do want the potatoes to get done, though.
  • Once the green beans and potatoes are cooked, you will remove the ham hock and let it cool a bit before dicing up the ham. Turn the crockpot on the warm setting while cooling and cutting up the ham pieces. Add the ham pieces back in and serve.

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!

Crazy-Simple Cottage Ham, Potatoes, and Green Beans image

Cottage ham is one of my favorite dishes to eat because it's rich in flavor and incredibly simple to make. Requiring only five ingredients and five minutes of prep time, this dish could quickly become a go-to meal in your household. If you can't wait the hour it takes to cook, drop it in a slow cooker in the morning, and it'll be ready when you get home.

HAM, STRING BEANS & POTATOES



Ham, string beans & potatoes image

Sounds weird to those who are not near PA Dutch Country. But, trust me, this dish is EASY and incredibly yummy!!!! Everyone in Central PA makes it, although I have added a few twists for flavor.

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lb ham shank, smoked ham hocks, or large ham slices
2 pkg frozen green beans (or use fresh uncooked green beans, which i prefer)
9 red potatoes (fine to use white, russet, etc.)
apple cider vinegar, fresh ground pepper, water
1 onion

Steps:

  • 1. So easy! Ready? Wash and cut the potatoes (keep skin on or off, your preference) in quarters and put in bottom of crockpot. You may want to check on the potatoes about half-way through to ensure they are not getting too cooked & mushy. Putting them @ the bottom at first helps get all the ham juice & yummy flavors dripping on them, though. :)
  • 2. Put ham in crockpot (NEVER used a canned ham or spiral-sliced ham for this recipe -- you want the smoky, bone in kinda ham). You don't need to cut it up, but may want to cut in half for flavors to mesh.
  • 3. Sprinkle with lotsa fresh ground black pepper. Add about 3 cups water. Then, add about half cup of apple cider vinegar to a bit more water & dump that over top. Cut a peeled, large onion in half & put on top. (You also choose to do sliced onion in it, if you want more flavor.)
  • 4. Put green beans on top (if using frozen green beans, let the dish cook for about 3 hours before you add them) & add some more black pepper & a sprinkle some apple cider vinegar over (pouring the vinegar in its cap or a separate cup helps to ensure you don't get too much in. :) ) Cook on low setting in crockpot for about 7-10 hours, depending on what kind of ham you are using.
  • 5. You can add more water if you want, or cut the ham & veggies into smaller pieces for more of a soup texture. It is DELICIOUS! Most people I know add white vinegar @ the end of the preparation, but I found apple cider vinegar cooked w/ it slowly, ground pepper, and an onion really set off the flavors while keeping it authentic to PA Dutch Country.

GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES AND HAM



Green Beans with Potatoes and Ham image

You can make the ham broth and shred the ham hocks a day ahead. The next day, reheat to simmering, and cook the potatoes and green beans.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 meaty ham hocks
1 onion, peeled and quartered through root
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 celery stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 jalapeno or serrano chile, intact with a split down 1 side
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 1/2 quarts water
1 pound small red potatoes, halved
2 pounds green beans, stem ends trimmed, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Combine ham hocks, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, bay leaf, chile, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer ham hocks to a plate. Discard chile, and add potatoes to pot; simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • When ham hocks are cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones (discard bones), shred into bite-size pieces, and return to pot. Add green beans, and return to a simmer. Cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon; reserve broth for another use. If storing leftovers, store in broth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: For this recipe, a smoked ham hock or bone-in ham steak works best. The bone adds flavor to the dish, and the meat will fall off the bone easily once it's cooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a smaller pot, cook the ham, string beans, and potatoes in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This dish is great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

This ham, string beans, and potatoes recipe is an easy and affordable way to feed your family a delicious and hearty meal. The ham provides smoky flavor, the string beans add a pop of color and nutrition, and the potatoes are a starchy side dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
