Ham, Potatoes and Stringbeans-Basic

A sweet start with a bite at the end. You will never eat regular ham and bean soup again!

#GlobalApron 2024 week 12. Ingredient green beans. I freeze leftover holiday ham bone leaving some ham on it to use when I make this.

This is a delicious dish that I grew up with as a good side to almost anything that you wish to eat. I hope you enjoy, if you try these out.

Not sure if this is a Pennsylvania Dutch thing or not, but we make this all the time as a way to use up the fresh green beans.

Quick easy dinner.

This soup is great after a holidays when ham goes on SALE! The first ham I bought in the early 90's was on sale for .69 cents per pound, I still try and get it for that price today!

Another quick, tasty meal, semi homemade.

This isn't the most traditional way of making ham and bean soup but still has amazing flavor. I didn't use ham hock, ham shank or bacon which seems to be common. We used a homemade ham stock that we had in the freezer made from the bone of a spiral ham. For the ham chunks I used a combination of leftover ham from a holiday meal and the last bit of the ham I smoked this past summer. If you don't have smoked ham or double smoked in my case you can use a smoked turkey leg and let it simmer in the pot. Or even a drop or two of liquid smoke just to give the extra depth of flavor. Also used the dehydrated onion in place of fresh chopped because it seemed like it would just get lost in there. The only thing I might do differently next time is add spinach or another green to the party.

There’s all kinds of recipes for ham & hocks. This one is a favorite of ours. Whip up some scrambled eggs with some diced onions and peppers, then toss it all together! YUM! Take the hock and cook toss it in with some Lima beans, bake some cornbread, you’ll be in “hog heaven” ! #GoldenApron23

Can be made on Stove top (covered 1 hr or more on medium low) or Instant Pot (under 30 minutes!) or Crock Pot (Cook on high for 3 or 4 hours or on low for 7 or 8 hours.) 

Ham & Bean Soup. (I need better lighting hahah)

I had a few items that had to be used up. Namely the massive amount of smoked ham I had. This wasn’t the sexiest, but it was satisfying.

Tweaked this recipe I found to help use up the ham that seemed to be growing! Plus I need that ham bone for ham and beans!

Savor the comfort of this hearty and filling ham and potato soup. Tender chunks of ham, vegetables, and potatoes are simmered in a creamy broth, creating a warming and delicious meal that's perfect for cold winter nights. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal that will leave you feeling satisfied.

Found this recipe and didn't like some of the ingredients so I changed some of it. Plus I had stuff in the fridge I needed to use up. You don't think the ham and hamburger will go well together, but they do! This is now my favorite meal.

Recipe I created quickly for a hearty big breakfast...it's great for a quick meals instead of pop tarts

This recipe doesn't have any weird flavors or spices. It is just a simple dish, but the end result is absolutely delicious. This recipe makes a lot so if you are making it for a small family you can simply halve the recipe. I also recommend using a pan with high sides just so the sauce doesn't go all over your oven while it is baking. I like to get a foil 9x13 lasagna or roasting pan and put it on a cookie sheet. Makes for easier clean-up. This is a great dish to take to a potluck dinner.

A good Hearty way to start the day out.

Just something to throw together for a quick week night dinner

I used to love this as a child and still love it till this day. It is a great hearty family meal and so delicious🤗

I bought a new copper loaf pan to give it a go. My old one was so abused. This new pan was a bit smaller but the nonstick was phenomenal. The potatoes used to stick to the sides on my old one, not so on this one. This recipe has a good balance on flavors.

Ham and Eggs

Always a summertime favorite!!!

I grew up eating these every New Years Day. I can eat this year round!

Leftover ham and a turnip in the fridge... this turned out so yummy, I had to share!!

This side dish offers the delicious taste and texture in every meal. I made this for our snacking. I think it’s a better idea than eating junk food right? But honestly it goes well along with the steamed rice too. Let’s look at the ingredients and how to make it.

Really easy ham and potatoes recipe that my family asks for alot:)
