Ham, green beans and potatoes is a simple and easy hearty dish for cold days. Assemble it in a pot to simmer for 20-30 minutes, and dinner is done!
Ingredients
1.5-2 lb Ham Steak (Sugardale is a good brand)
2 16-oz bags frozen whole green beans
3 lbs red or white potatoes, unpeeled
1 large onion, sliced (optional)
Salt & pepper
Steps
- Remove ham steak from packaging and trim fat, skin and center bone. Cut ham steak into individual serving sizes.
- Scrub potatoes and cut into chunks.
- Place potato chunks in one layer on the bottom of a Dutch oven pot on the stove. Add 3 inches of water and a generous sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Lay ham pieces on top of potatoes in one layer. Cover ham with all of the frozen green beans and sliced onion.
- Cover Dutch oven and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until potatoes are tender and green beans well-cooked. (Allow beans to go past the crisp-tender, bright green stage and let them cook until they are soft. They will have a wonderful flavor from the ham.)
- Serve in bowls with some broth and crusty bread.
