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!

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

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, tender green beans for the best flavor and texture.
Trim the green beans by removing the ends and any tough strings.
Cut the ham into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Use a variety of potatoes, such as red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, or russet potatoes.
Add your favorite seasonings and herbs to taste, such as garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.
Cook the green beans, ham, and potatoes on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours.
Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Serve the green beans, ham, and potatoes hot with your favorite sides.
