Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes: A Cozy Comfort Dish

Slow cooked green beans and potatoes with bacon in a crockpot.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 2 lbs ham, diced or cut into chunks
  • 4 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
  • 1 large onion optional

Instructions

Wash and Trim Green Beans

  • Rinse the green beans under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends and, if desired, cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces for easier consumption.

Peel and Cube Potatoes

  • Peel the baking potatoes and cut them into large cubes, about 1-2 inches in size. This size ensures that the potatoes cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dish.

Dice the Ham

  • If your ham is not already diced, cut it into bite-sized chunks. This allows the ham to integrate well with the other ingredients and ensures each bite is flavorful.

Chop the Onion

  • If you choose to use an onion, chop it into small pieces. Onions add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
