Granted this did need a little more attention than most slow cooker recipes but well worth it. I used a ham bone with quite a bit of meat on it. Followed other directions except omitted the onion. very good. Also love the splash of vinegar just before eating.

This has become my favorite way to cook beans. I cook it on the stove, though. Also I substituted stock for the granules, fingerling for new potatoes, and fresh garlic for the powder. Sorry to say, but it puts my mother's to shame.

I actually made this for a small Easter get together. It turned out great and everyone loved it!

I was so excited to try this recipe. I love the ingredients and it has great reviews. I found this dish to be extremely bland. I will not make this again.

Put everything in the crock pot--green beans, potatoes and added carrots too- and went to church. Cooked it on high and it was perfect when we got home--5 hours and dinner was ready. Highly recommend cooking the sausage or kielbasi first to make it crispier. This was a big hit.

Very good. I made this on the stovetop with boneless low-fat ham, cubed. I kinda over-cooked the green beans, so I removed them from the pan while cooking the potatoes and ham together, then added them back, and simmered awhile. I followed the recipe except for using the boneless ham, and adding a tablespoon of ham base to the water when cooking the green beans (L. B. Jamison's Soup Base Ham Flavored).

The ham was not tender, while the beans were mushy and flavorless. (Or rather, everything just tasted like salty water.) I'd recommend "Easy Slow Cooker Ham" or "Honey Glazed Ham" from this site instead.

I was being preoccupied when I made this and forgot to add the seasonings and bouillon. It was still delicious!

To bump up the flavor a little, I browned the onions along with some mushrooms and fresh garlic before adding them to the crockpot. I had made another green bean recipe from this site where one just put the onions in the pot raw and I thought it would be better to brown them first. Also, instead of water I just put in one can of chicken broth; I figured the slow cooking process would extract enough liquid from the ingredients to cook the beans, and it worked great. As other reviewers suggested, I used chunks of leftover ham instead of ham hocks. This came out quite good and we enjoyed it. Thank you so much for the post, GRAMMYROSE.
