Dienia B.'s Note:

Everyone cooks this and it's one of my favorite meals in the spring. I'm just writing it down for the kids.

• Total Time: 5 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 5

• 2 lbs fresh green beans
• 1 lb bacon
• 1 onion
• 1 lb new potatoes or 1 lb little red potatoes
• 1 chicken bouillon cube
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

1. Chop bacon into bite size pieces; chop onion into small pieces; chop green beans into small pieces.
2. Layer all ingredients into crock pot so everything is mixed; add enough water to cover. Add bouillon. Cook till tender--I start in morning and it's ready in evening.

This makes A LOT if green beans! Made it for Christmas dinner and it sure was pretty setting on the table! However, (this may be MY crock acting up), it was not done! 8 hrs later and the beans were still pretty crunchy... the potatoes were done and the bacon was done too... but the beans still had a bit to go... I transferred them into a pot on the stove and let them boil for a bit, and this did help... but it delayed dinner... The flavor was good though! If I make these again, I would cut down on the bacon... it made the "broth" pretty greasy...

These were really good as part of my Easter dinner. Next time I think I'll add less bacon, but that's just to make it a bit healthier. Thanks for sharing!
