Best 6 Slow Cooker Green Beans Recipes

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES

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)

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.

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Pour green beans into slow cooker, do NOT drain.
• Add 3/4 cup of water.
• Add salt, pepper, minced onion or onion powder as desired (remember: salt pork will add more salt to the dish, and the beans have salt already, so don't over do it! You can always add more salt before serving or at the table.).
• Add a 1/2 inch slice of salt pork (I keep mine in the freezer to use as needed).
• Preferred method: If you have time, put the crock on high & allow the beans to come to a good simmer, then reduce heat to low for 3-4 hours. If you don't have time to let them come to a simmer on high, cook them on low for about 5 hours.
