LEAH CHASE'S GREEN BEANS WITH HAM AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat.
• Saute ham and onions for 5 minutes.
• Except for the red bell pepper, add the rest of the ingredients.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cook and cover for 15-20 minutes adding the red bell pepper for the last 2-3 minutes.

GREEN BEANS WITH HAM HOCK AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, fill with enough water to just cover ham hocks and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 45 minutes. Add beans and sugar and continue cooking another 25 minutes. Add potatoes and salt and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more. Remove hocks from pot and remove meat from the bone. Add meat back to the pot, add salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH POTATOES AND HAM

Steps:

• Combine ham hocks, onion, garlic, celery, thyme, bay leaf, chile, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer ham hocks to a plate. Discard chile, and add potatoes to pot; simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• When ham hocks are cool enough to handle, pull meat off bones (discard bones), shred into bite-size pieces, and return to pot. Add green beans, and return to a simmer. Cover, and cook until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve vegetables and meat with a slotted spoon; reserve broth for another use. If storing leftovers, store in broth.

HAM, POTATOES, AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Cube the potatoes, peeling first if desired.
• String the beans and break into 2 inch pieces.
• Coarsely chop the onion.
• Place ham, potatoes, beans, black pepper, and onions into a wide, shallow pot or dutch oven.
• Add enough water to come within a couple inches of the top of the food.
• Bring the pot to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
• This can be drippy so I suggest serving it in bowls or soup plates.
• Cornbread makes a good accompaniment if you want to sop up the juices.

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Halve beans if they are large, place in a slow cooker with water to barely cover, and add onion and ham hocks. Cover, and cook on High until simmering. Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until beans are crisp but not done.
• Add potatoes, and cook for another 45 minutes. While potatoes are cooking, remove ham hocks from slow cooker, and remove meat from bones. Chop or shred meat, and return to slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then adjust seasoning to taste.
• To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving dish with a little broth.
