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!

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h15m

Yield 3 quarts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them before cooking.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • If you want a more flavorful dish, add some chopped bacon or sausage to the slow cooker.
  • Season the green beans and potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Cook the green beans and potatoes on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Serve the green beans and potatoes hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker green beans and potatoes is a simple and delicious side dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover green beans and potatoes. The slow cooker does all the work, so you can relax and enjoy a home-cooked meal without any hassle.
