  • 36 ounces of fresh or frozen green beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 1-2 pounds pork or ham hock (or 2 cups of leftover cooked ham pieces)
  • 4 large thin-skinned potatoes, yellow or red (or a mixture), cut into bite-size chunks (1-½ to 2 pounds)
  • Thyme (dry or fresh)
  • Garlic and onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Ground cloves and cinnamon
  • Drizzle of oil
  1. Start by adding the ham hock to the bottom of the crockpot, followed by the green beans and potato chunks.
  2. Sprinkle thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cloves, and cinnamon over the ingredients. Mix everything together thoroughly, and then drizzle with a bit of oil.
  3. Cook the mixture on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, depending on your preference and schedule.
  4. Once the green beans and potatoes are cooked, remove the ham hock and let it cool before dicing up the ham. Keep the crockpot on the warm setting while you wait.
  5. Add the ham pieces back into the crockpot and serve.
  • Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the green beans to avoid overcooking and mushiness. Check on the dish towards the end of the cooking time to determine the doneness.
  • Feel free to add onions to the recipe for extra flavor and texture.

Leftovers can be safely stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, be careful not to overcook the beans. You may need to add a bit of liquid, such as water or broth, to prevent dryness.

Serve your Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes with Ham alongside crusty bread or your favorite biscuits. A fresh side salad, like Mediterranean Cucumber Salad or Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad, is also a great option.

Enjoy this easy and delicious one-pot meal that will warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds!
