Slow Cooker Green Beans, Ham and Potatoes

This crockpot green beans and potatoes recipe is easy to make in your slow cooker. I make this dish often, but I have never measured the ingredients, so this recipe is a reasonable approximation. Freeze the leftover cooking liquid and add it to bean soup, ham and cabbage dishes, or use it to boil dumplings. It's delicious!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Halve green beans if they are large; place in a slow cooker with water to barely cover. Add ham hocks and onion. Cover and cook on High until simmering. Reduce heat to Low; cook until beans are crisp but not done, 2 to 3 hours.

Step 2

Remove ham hocks from the slow cooker. Add potatoes to the slow cooker; cook on Low for 45 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, remove ham meat from the bones, then chop or shred meat and return to the slow cooker. Season with bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to transfer green beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a bit of broth.
