Crockpot Green Beans

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • Ham Bone
  • 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes, whole
  • 1 tablespoon bacon grease
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules (or Chicken Broth, just enough to cover the beans)
  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Halve beans if they are large, place in a slow cooker with water or chicken broth to barely cover, and add bacon grease, onion and ham bone. 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.
  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.
  3. To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth.
