Slow Cooker Green Beans, Ham and Potatoes

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

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large onion, chopped
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1 ½ pounds new potatoes, quartered
• 2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
• 3 ham hocks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth.
