I had a handful of beans from my planters and decided to try this Slow Cooker Potatoes and Green Beans side dish. Most of the recipes I saw call for adding liquid, I didn't want to do that. I find Crock Pots cook moist and even added a towel under the lid to collect excess condensation. If you'd really like to simplify things, you could always add some cubed cooked ham during the last hour and make a complete meal. It doesn't get much easier than that:@)
Slow Cooker Potatoes and Green Beans (Ham Optional)
2 large red potatoes, washed, cut into 1/2" pieces-approximately 1/2 lb
Good handful fresh green beans, washed, stem end trimmed, cut in half
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 tsp onion powder
- Crush bullion cube with spoon in slow cooker vessel. I used a 2 quart Crock Pot.
- Add potatoes to bottom of vessel, sprinkle with onion powder, give a stir.
- Add green beans on top of potatoes.
- Place two paper towels or clean dish towel under lid of Crock Pot, turn to high.
- Cook for 2 hours total, stirring at the 1 hour point and replacing paper towels if wet. Add cubed cooked ham at the 1 hour point if desired.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
