Green Beans with Ham and Potatoes Ingredients

I am ecstatic about this meal. There’s nothing new about green beans with ham and potatoes. I have been making this type of meal for years in the summer using fresh green beans. Or, I make it for the holidays in the slow cooker.

• Canned Green Beans
• Peeled Potatoes, diced
• Diced Ham
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Garlic (or garlic seasonings)

This version, however, uses the oven, and it uses canned green beans. I love mixing everything in one dish, covering it with foil, and knowing that every person in my family will lick their plates clean.
