Cut potato into cubes and boil about 5 min. (do not cook all the way done)

In seperate pot add everything together but the green beans, potatoes, and bacon. Taste add more seasoning if needed (if to strong tasting, add water). Bring to a boil. I season to taste so you may want to use more or less of an ingredient.

Add the rest of ingredients to pot, reduce heat and cover. Cook on med. low heat for about 20 mins, or place in oven safe dish and cook about 30 mins ( until tender, but over cook)
