Ingredients

Scale

Meats

  • 2 cups cooked ham chunks or 1 ham hock

Vegetables

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed
  • 3 cups baby potatoes or diced Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken broth

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and trim the green beans. Dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic so everything is ready for the crockpot.
  2. Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the potatoes and onions at the bottom for even cooking. Add the green beans on top, then nestle the ham pieces throughout. Sprinkle the minced garlic and seasonings evenly over the ingredients, then pour the chicken broth over all.
  3. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and green beans have absorbed the flavors from the ham and broth.
  4. Final Touches and Serve: Gently stir to combine and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt or pepper if needed, then serve directly from the crockpot for a cozy and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Use ham with bone such as a ham hock to add rich flavor to the broth.
  • Do not overfill the crockpot; leave space for steam circulation to cook ingredients evenly.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to prevent mushy pieces and ensure even cooking.
  • If using fresh green beans, reduce the chicken broth slightly because frozen beans release extra moisture.
  • Avoid opening the crockpot lid frequently during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
