Ham And Green Beans Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago This is another recipe that I grew up with. I NEVER throw out a hambone! Sometimes its navy bean soup or black bean soup, but this is our fav. I tend to make this in the summer with all the fresh beans in the garden...yep, jazzed this one up, too, with the herbes de provence. ... More Prep:10m Cook:160m Servings:12	Crabhappych

Ingredients

1 ham bone, with lots of ham on it

1 pound fresh green beans, stem end snapped off, or 1 pound of frozen

4 stalks celery, WITH leaves or more to taste

3 onions, cut in 1/2" strips

3 pounds potatoes, cut into chunks - skins on!

Herbes de Provence, to taste, maybe 4 tablespoons

3 tablespoons seasoned salt, Janes Crazy Mixed Up Salt, of course,or more to taste

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup garlic, dried, slivered - get in Oriental market or in Costco

Directions

Put ham and bone in large soup pot, add celery, garlic, onion and cover all with water. Simmer, covered for 1 1/2 hours. Add rest of ingredients except potatoes, adding more water, if necessary. Cook another hour or so and take ham and bone out of pot. Remove all ham and return to pot, discarding bone. Add potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender. Adjust seasonings and serve.

NOTE: The dried slivered garlic I use is a fantastic time saver. I use it in soups and stew and things that have a lot of liquid.

Definitely! I like to throw in some summer squash like zuchinni and patty pans at the last and serve with corn bread.

This sounds great! Put it over a bed of steaming hot white rice, some corn bread on the side and you have a true southern dish :)
