Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

1 Pound Fresh Green Beans (washed and ends snapped)
4 Large Russet Potatoes (peeled and quartered)

Protein

1 Pound Ham (cubed)

Liquids

2 Cups Chicken Broth

Seasonings

2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
2 Teaspoons Salt
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

Prepare the base: Add the washed and trimmed green beans to the bottom of your crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth until the green beans are fully covered. If needed, add a splash of water to ensure there is enough liquid to cook everything evenly.
Layer ingredients: Add the peeled and quartered russet potatoes and the cubed ham directly on top of the green beans in the crockpot. Sprinkle the onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Cook until tender: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high heat for about 3 hours. Check that the potatoes and green beans are tender and that the aroma of the cooked ham and vegetables fills your kitchen, indicating it is ready to serve.

Notes

Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor; frozen can be used but may become softer.
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt, depending on the saltiness of your ham.
For a thicker broth, you can reduce the liquid slightly or thicken it after cooking with a cornstarch slurry.
This recipe can be easily doubled for larger families or gatherings using a bigger crockpot.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
