Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ham (cooked and diced or ham hock)
- 1.5 pounds Green beans (fresh or frozen, trimmed if fresh)
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (halved) or russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Wash and trim the green beans if using fresh, halve the baby potatoes or cube the russet potatoes, dice the ham if not using a ham hock, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large crock pot, layer the potatoes at the bottom as the base.
Add the chopped onions and minced garlic on top of the potatoes for aromatic flavor.
Next, layer the green beans evenly over the onion and garlic mixture.
Place the diced ham or ham hock on top of the green beans, ensuring the ham is evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Pour the chicken broth over the entire mixture to ensure everything is well-coated and will cook evenly.
Add the butter to the crock pot in small dollops on top of the ingredients.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and optional paprika for additional flavor.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6–7 hours, or on high heat for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Once cooked, stir gently to incorporate the flavors before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm as a complete meal or alongside a slice of crusty bread for an extra hearty dish.
