Remember those cozy family dinners where everyone gathered around the table, sharing stories from their day over a home-cooked meal? Those were the days, right? Well, life got faster, we all got busier, and somehow, those family dinners became less frequent. But guess what? I stumbled upon a game-changer recipe that revived our family dinners and quickly turned into everyone’s favorite: Slow Cooker Ham, Green Beans, and Potatoes.
This dish is like a hug in a bowl – the savory ham dances perfectly with the tender green beans and the potatoes bring it all together with their creamy comfort. The beauty of it? It’s a cinch to whip up in a slow cooker. Toss everything in the morning, go about your day, and by dinnertime, you’re greeted with a warm, hearty meal that beckons everyone back to the dinner table, just like old times.
Here’s How to Make Magic with Slow Cooker Ham, Green Beans, and Potatoes:

2 pounds of ham, cubed up nice and neat
2 pounds of green beans, ends snipped off
4 big potatoes, peeled and diced
1 onion, chopped (if you’re into that)
A shake of steak spice seasoning (give it a whirl!)
Salt and pepper, to your heart’s content
Let’s Get Cooking:
Pop all the ingredients into your slow cooker. Sprinkle on your seasonings, including a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
Give it a good stir, making sure everything gets a nice seasoning hug. Pour in 3 cups of water to get the party started.
Cover it up, set it to low, and let the slow cooker work its magic for 6 hours.
When the time’s up, serve it piping hot and watch as smiles spread around the table.
