Very good flavor! The only thing I added was some liquid smoke for my hubby. He loves that stuff. No more boring beans for us!!

Very good! I added extra ham and this was great.

Great jumping off recipe! I adjust salt and pepper to taste and add a smidge of liquid smoke. I used a smoked, uncooked pork shoulder this time. I have lots of leftovers to freeze for a later date.

Been making this for 52 years, in all manners, but I think the best way is in the pressure cooker- just use your pessure cooker directions long enough to cook the potatos. I use any ham, or other smoked meat I have in the house. Takes 10 min from raw in my pressure cooker. Never met anyone that didn't like it.

The beans are the best I've had in a long time. I added baking soda to take the strong green taste away and sugar to offset the spices. I used pieces of country ham instead of the hocks. Thanks for the great recipe.

Yum! The flavor really soaks into the beans. I cooked mine on low all day, about 8 hours.

These are the best green beans I have ever tasted....the only thing I would change is using ham chunks instead of the ham hocks as some of the other reviews suggested.

I've made this several times and made several changes depending on how I wanted to serve it. I always use Ham Shanks instead of hocks because I want the smoky meat. I have made this as a side dish with that being the only change. I've also used this to make a "mock beef barley" soup. My grandmother alway used a cottage ham to make her beef barley so I thought I would try it. It turned out grate, I just added a can of broth after I barely covered with water, tossed in frozen mixed veggies and barley at the end, trying follow the instructions on the box of barley. This is definately a keeper and remember after you have the basic recipe down try making changes that you think would work, the sky is the limit.

This was okay, but not too tasty. I think I overcooked it because the beans came out somewhat mushy. Also, it felt really greasy to me. It made A LOT of beans, and I ended up throwing most of it out. It was rather bland and I needed to add a lot of salt. Probably won't be making this again.

I have not made this particular recipe, but something simular. I like to use left over bacon grease for extra flavor and minced green onions and garlic. This for the person who said it was tasteless. You have to make it your own!

I've been making this on my stove for years and just tried the slow cooker (7 hours on low was perfect for the green beans). I had never added chicken broth before, and it made a great dish even better! Thanks!

This recipe was tasteless and boring. It smelled great, but was a disappointment. If others like it, that's great.

I've made this twice now and it's always a hit. I used cubed ham chunks this time, but last time, I think just used some bacon drippings. Everything else was the same as what was in the recipe.

OMG!! These were delicious! I started them at work and cooked them throughout the day. It took a little longer to cook than the recipe said because the ham hocks weren't tender enough at the end of two hours so I didn't take them out when I put the potatoes in. I didn't have an onion either. I took them to a Thanksgiving dinner for the airmen that live in the dorm, they were a HIT!!!! I brought the crockpot home empty;)
