Enjoy tender, slow-simmered Southern green beans and potatoes, flavored with smoky bacon or ham for a comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 pound bacon or ham, diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon or ham over medium heat until crispy. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook in the bacon drippings until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the trimmed green beans and quartered potatoes to the pot.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, then season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes and beans are tender.
  6. Stir in the cooked bacon or ham before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use ham hocks instead of diced ham.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on your desired tenderness for the vegetables.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving if needed.
