Ingredients:
1 pound of boneless ham, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pound of fresh green beans, trimmed
1 pound of baby potatoes, halved or quartered
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by cutting the boneless ham into bite-sized pieces. Trim the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Halve or quarter the baby potatoes, depending on their size, to ensure they cook evenly. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
2. Layer the Crockpot:
Place the prepared ham, green beans, and potatoes in the crockpot. Add the diced onion and minced garlic on top.
3. Mix the Seasoning:
In a small bowl, combine the dried thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the spices together until well blended.
4. Season the Ingredients:
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the ingredients in the crockpot to ensure every bite is flavorful.
5. Add the Broth:
Pour one cup of chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients. The broth will help infuse the dish with additional flavor and prevent the ingredients from drying out during cooking.
6. Cook:
Cover the crockpot with its lid. Set it to cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot model, so check periodically to ensure the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked to your preference.
7. Stir and Serve:
Once the ingredients are fully cooked, gently stir to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Serve the dish hot, either as a hearty main course or a comforting side dish.
8. Enjoy:
