SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES
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!

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)
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.

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
Want the taste of green beans canned from a garden, but aren't able to can? This is a wonderful substitute. I learned this technique from a good friend. Put it in the crockpot on low before you head to church, put a roast or chicken in another crockpot, and come home to a wonderful, warm Sunday dinner!

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.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, and then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Rinse the green beans. Rinse the beans under cold water before cooking.
- Use a slow cooker that is the right size. A 3-quart slow cooker is ideal for this recipe.
- Add the green beans, water, and seasonings to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cook the green beans on low for 4-6 hours. Or on high for 2-3 hours.
- Serve the green beans hot. You can add a dollop of sour cream or butter to each serving, if desired.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker green beans are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and healthy dish that the whole family will love.
