Ingredients
- 1 ham shank with plenty of meat on the bone
- 2 pounds red or yellow potatoes small, or cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion large, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 pounds fresh green beans rinsed and trimmed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, adjust to taste
- 4-6 cups chicken stock plus more as needed to cover the ham and potatoes
Instructions
- Place the ham shank in the slow cooker and add the potatoes around it. Add the onion and green beans over the top. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Pour in enough chicken stock to fully cover the ham and potatoes and almost cover the green beans. The green beans do not need to be submerged.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Remove the ham shank and pull the meat from the bone. Transfer the ham and vegetables to a serving dish and pour a little of the cooking juices over them. Serve warm.
Notes
Start checking at 4 hours and stop when the potatoes are fork-tender. You can use 2 pounds of ham cut into 1-inch pieces in place of the shank. Thaw frozen ham in the refrigerator first.
