Slow Cooker Green Beans, Ham and Potatoes Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 1)
Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2013
This dish was good, but not as good as I had hoped and expected. It was easy to prepare, especially since I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and just threw it all into the crock pot. But having done that, I can see now why it might turn out better if done in stages. In the time it took to cook the beans to some degree of tenderness (about 6 hours at a medium temperature), my potatoes over-cooked to the point that they were falling apart. I used some leftover ham, and it, too, over-cooked, becoming slightly rubbery and turning an unappetizing shade of grey. Also, I thought the recipe needed 2 or 3 times the amount of seasoning recommended. Will I make this again? Maybe...but if I do I'll make it on the stove where I can have more control over what cooks for how long.

I used smoked turkey instead of ham as well as a clove of garlic. I love this recipe, very good. The only thing I did was.... I was not home in time to add my potatoes! dang it! oh well next time. I am just going to make some hot water cornbread and enjoy me smoked turkey and beans!

Mmm,mmm,mmm ~ You just can't go wrong with this recipe. Followed as directed, only adding some cubed ham at the end. My husband and son were so busy eating that there wasn't much conversation at dinner. Will definitely make again :)

Loved it- used 2 capfuls of apple cider vinegar and doubled all seasonings. I like a stronger flavor. Made it on the stove and used ham steak instead of hocks. Turned out delicious. I think the cider vinegar gives it the perfect kick.

I have made a similar recipe for many years- my husband loves it! Since it always seems to be even better the next day, I realized it was because the broth becomes a little thicker as the potato starch comes out. So I started to puree a couple of the potatoes (after they're cooked) using an immersion blender (either in a separate pot with a few potatoes and broth, or just stick it in the regular pot for a few seconds). This gives it a nice consistency for a slightly thicker stew. I also substitute homemade chicken broth (or store bought broth) for the water.

I followed the recipe as it is here and I don't think I'll change a thing. Fabulous and comforting.
