Steps:
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the vegetable oil. Spread the ham in the skillet in a thin layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns brown and crispy. Remove half of the ham shards from the skillet and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Leave the remaining ham and any fat that has rendered in the skillet.
- Add the green beans, chicken stock, pepper and salt to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the stock reduces and darkens in color and the beans are soft but hold their shape, about 30 minutes. Pour into a serving platter and sprinkle with the reserved crispy ham.
GREEN BEANS AND COUNTRY HAM, SOUTHERN-STYLE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:
- Place the ham slices in a large sauté pan. Add about 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until ham is tender. Remove ham from pot and cut into small pieces. Return to the pot and add the beans, potatoes and onions. Season with pepper. Add a bit more water if needed, but not too much. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until beans are very tender, about 1 hour. (Cooking time will depend on the age of the beans.) Taste the beans and add salt if needed but, since country ham is very salty, additional salt will probably not be necessary. If there appears to be too much broth, cook on high without the cover until some of the moisture evaporates. Add butter to beans and stir until melted; replace lid and cook an additional 10 minutes. This will keep, covered, over low heat until serving. Notes: If you want a meatier main dish, add some smoked ham pieces when you add the beans. For most people, more country ham would make it too salty. Instead of large potatoes, you can use about one pound baby or creamer potatoes, halved if large. I like yukon gold, but any boiling potato is fine.
COUNTRY GREEN BEANS
This deliciously different way to dress up green beans is sure to become a family favorite at your house, too. The garlic, chopped ham and onion blend so well with the beans. It's a beautiful and tasty side dish that has real country appeal. -Linda Gaido, New Brighton, Pennsylvania

GREEN BEANS WITH COUNTRY HAM
Where I come from, green beans (or just about any kind of beans, for that matter) are cooked low and slow for hours. They need time to absorb all that good flavor of the country ham, onions and other seasoning. You can use any variety of green beans with this recipe (the beans in the photo are Romano) and you can use frozen or drained, and rinsed, canned beans. In my opinion, fresh or frozen taste the best.

- Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds.

- Add green beans and enough water to cover by at least 1/12 to 2 inches.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low/medium-low, cover and let simmer for 2 hours, checking every 1/2 hour to see if additional water is needed.
- Add 2 teaspoons ham soup base, cover loosely (to allow some evaporation) and simmer 1 to 3 additional hours, occasionally checking liquid level in pot. (Allow liquid level to reduce to just barely covering the beans.)
- Taste beans and add salt and pepper to taste.
- NOTE: Small red potatoes may be added during last 1/2 hour of cooking if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
SIMPLE GREEN BEANS WITH HAM
Green beans with amazing flavor are also super easy. This is a very simple side dish that takes its flavor from the ham used and the lengthy cooking time. If Grandma didn't have ham on hand she would substitute bacon.

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES
I make this dish often; I have never really measured the ingredients, but can give you a reasonable approximation. Note: Freeze leftover cooking liquid, and then add to bean soup, ham or cabbage dishes, or use to cook dumplings in. It's delicious!

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, add the ham and scallions, and cook, stirring now and then, for 5 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
- 2. Add the beans and broth and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the broth bubbles gently, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the beans are crisp-tender.
- 3. Meanwhile, combine the thickener and the mustard and set aside. As soon as the beans are done, whisk a little of the hot broth into the mustard mixture, stir back into the pan, add the pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the broth thickens. Continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce has the consistency of a glaze.
- 4. Taste the beans for salt and pepper, adjust as needed, and serve straightaway.
