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!

1 ½ pounds new potatoes, quartered
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

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:

Choose firm, fresh green beans: Avoid limp or discolored beans. Fresh green beans should snap easily when you bend them.
Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
Use small red potatoes: Small red potatoes hold their shape well in the slow cooker. If you use larger potatoes, cut them into quarters or eighths.
Season the vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the green beans and potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
Add enough liquid: The liquid in the slow cooker should come about halfway up the vegetables. This will help them cook evenly.
Cook the vegetables on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the vegetables time to become tender and flavorful.
Serve the vegetables hot: Green beans and potatoes are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker green beans and potatoes recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy these healthy vegetables. The recipe is simple to follow and can be tailored to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
