This is a budget-friendly meal that you can add to your weekly menu. It calls for leftover ham or you can use ham hocks if you’d like. A pretty simple dish that is cooked in a slow cooker. Healthy, easy to make, and on the wallet. If you have picky eaters at home, don’t worry because this dish is too good to pass.
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
HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM, AND POTATOES
Step 1: Before putting the beans in a slow cooker, slice them in halves if they are large. Pour water in the slow cooker barely covering the beans. Add in the onion and ham hocks.
Step 2: Cook, covered, on high until simmering. Adjust the heat to low and continue to cook for about 2 to 3 hours or until the beans are crisp but not done.
Step 3: Add in the potatoes and cook for 45 minutes more.
Step 4: Extract the ham hocks from the slow cooker. Remove the bones. Shred or chop the meat before putting it back into the slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Continue cooking until the potatoes are done. Season to taste.
Step 5: Time to serve. Place the beans, potatoes, and ham in a serving plate. With a slotted spoon, add in a bit of broth.
NOTE:
I recommend using a ham hock for this recipe because the bone will add extra flavor. Or use any leftover ham that is available on hand.
