Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans
  • 2 small smoked ham hocks (about 1 pound total)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • salt to taste (if needed)

Instruction

  • Wash your green beans and trim the ends off.
  • Spray the insert of your slow cooker with nonstick spray, then add in all the ingredients except the green beans and ham hocks.
  • Stir until well combined, then add in the green beans and ham hocks.
  • Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Taste them to see if they need salt and if so, add some in. Remove the ham hocks, pull off any meat and stir them back into the slow cooker, then discard the rest.
