WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

GREEN BEANS, POTATOES, AND HAM

This is a recipe I got from the internet probably ten years ago.

2 lb fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 onion, chopped
3 ham hocks
1 1/2 lbs new potatoes, quartered
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 tbsp chicken bouillon granules
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Break beans in half and place in slow cooker with just enough water to cover. Add the onion and ham hocks.

Place lid on cooker and cook on high until simmering. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 to 3 hours until the beans are crisp tender but not done.

Add the potatoes and cook another 45 minutes or until tender. While potatoes cook, remove ham hocks and shred the meat; return to the cooker. Add the seasoning and bouillon; cook until potatoes are tender.

File photo that was with recipe.
