Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 small new potatoes, halved if large
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or medium Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until it has rendered most of its fat and has begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the green beans and potatoes and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

As the beans get close to being done they will become quite fragile, so take care when stirring.

Tips:

  • Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
  • Soak the green beans: Soaking the beans in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps them to retain their color and nutrients.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Sauté the onions until softened: This will help to bring out their sweetness.
  • Add the green beans and potatoes to the slow cooker: Be sure to stir them to coat them in the bacon fat and onion mixture.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the beans and potatoes to become tender.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before serving.
