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!

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.

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 fresh green beans for the best flavor and texture. Trim the ends and remove any tough strings before cooking.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also make this dish in a Dutch oven over low heat. Just be sure to add a little extra liquid to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
This dish is also great for meal prep. Simply cook it on the weekend and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, just reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as carrots, celery, or onions. You can also add a can of diced tomatoes for a little extra flavor.
Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker ham, green beans, and potatoes recipe is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. The ham is tender and flavorful, the green beans are crisp and tender, and the potatoes are soft and fluffy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
