Ingredients
2 lbs ham hock
2-3 large russet potatoes peeled and chopped into two-inch pieces
16 oz green beans frozen or fresh
1 lb cubed ham steak optional
Instructions:
Place the ham hocks into a crock pot and cover them with water. Cook on high for approximately 5 hours, or until meat is super tender.
Remove the meat from the crockpot with tongs, remove and discard any fat and bones, and return the meat to the broth.
About 2-3 hours before you plan to eat, add the potatoes and green beans to the crockpot, adding more water if necessary.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
