Ingredients:

2 lbs of fresh green beans, rinsed, trimmed

(1) large onion, chopped

(3) eaches ham hocks

1 ½ pounds new potatoes, quartered

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp seasoning salt

1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules

ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Halve beans if they are large, put it in a slow cooker with water to barely cover, and add onion and ham hocks. Cover, and cook on High until simmering. Then reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until beans are crisp but not done.

Add and cook potatoes for another 45 minutes. Remove the ham hocks from slow cooker, and remove meat from bones while potatoes are cooking. Chop or shred meat, and return to slow cooker. Then season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then adjust seasoning to taste.

To serve: Put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth using a slotted spoon.

Note:

In this recipe, I recommend using a ham hock, as the bone will add extra flavor. You can use the leftover ham if that’s all you’ve got on hand.
