Do you have any comfort food recipes that you never had growing up as a child? I have a lot as my mom was mostly a Rice a Roni and shake and bake cook. (you feel my pain fellow children of the 80's!) Although her red beans are my favorite! When I got into college and law school, I got hooked on southern classics like collard greens, okra and smothered chicken to name a few. And this awesome way to make green beans I have for you today.
My sister makes this recipe a lot and she uses ham, or just a ham bone. It really does fill you up like a meal, and you can bulk it up further by adding some cubed potatoes, which I have done before. The texture of the green beans is amazing, still a little crisp, but soft at the same time. And your pork or ham is fork tender and melts in your mouth. Okay if you aren't drooling yet, check out the full recipe after the montage and make it for yourself, you and your crock pot will thank me! Linking up with Meal Plan Monday over at Southern Plate and others!

| So dang delicious! |

| The lovely cast! You can use ham instead of pickled pork, but if you can find it, do it! |
 |
| Chop your onions in a large manner. |
 |
| Cut your protein in a similar manner |
 |
| Add the onions and beans to the crock pot |
 |
| Then add your meat and stock. Then set it and forget it! |
