GREENS BEANS , HAM AND POTATOES

I PURCHASED THESE NICE GREEN BEANS
AT THE GROCERY STORE FOR .99 LB.
I THEN BROKE OFF THE ENDS AND SNAPPED
THEM IN HALF. THEN RINSED THEM AND
PUT THEM IN A LARGE POT.
I THEN DICED UP ONE MEDIUM ONION.
ADDED SOME BITE SIZE PIECES OF HAM..
CUT UP SOME NICE RED POTATOES....
SOME SALT AND PEPPER TO SEASON...
FILLED THE POT WITH WATER TO COVER
THE BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES....
I THEN PUT THEM ON TO SIMMER ALL DAY..
THIS WILL BE READY FOR A NICE MEAL
WITH A SALAD AND ROLL OR A SIDE DISH
WITH CHICKEN......


I GREW UP WITH MY MOM COOKING PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE! SHE WOULD MAKE MANY COMFORT MEALS THAT WERE SIMPLE TO MAKE AND FILLING......

ONE OF THESE SIDES WOULD BE GREEN BEAN AND POTATOES......I CAN REMEMBER THESE SIMMERING ON THE STOVE ALL DAY LONG AND THE SOUND OF THE METAL LID "TINGING AND POPPING" AS THE SMELL OF HOMEMADE GOODNESS PERMEATED THE KITCHEN.

HERE IS THE SIMPLE RECIPE FOR GREEN BEANS; HAM AND POTATOES

**SERVES 6

1-2 LBS FRESH GREEN BEANS ( SNAPPED AND READY)
