I just had this idea. Haven't tried it. Do you think it would be good? I
was thinking to cook the beans really well, maybe in chicken broth with some
onion and bacon. Sounds good to me, but our weather is getting warmer so
not sure when I will try it.

Here's something I found on the Web..it calls for Ham Hocks...but you could
use bacon as a substitute....Sounds pretty good. If you like your bean
limp...just cook them a bit longer. This recipe is more or less a
suggestion...you could put in chicken broth instead of the granules...I
think the onion powder and garlic powder are a good idea even if you add
onions. Maybe not as many potatoes as it calls for.

NGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 large onion, chopped
3 ham hocks
1 1/2 pounds new potatoes, quartered
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
Halve beans if they are large, place in a slow cooker with water to barely
cover, and add onion and ham hocks. Cover, and cook on High until simmering.
Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until beans are crisp but
not done.
Add potatoes, and cook for another 45 minutes. While potatoes are cooking,
remove ham hocks from slow cooker, and remove meat from bones. Chop or shred
meat, and return to slow cooker. Season with garlic powder, onion powder,
seasoning salt, bouillon, and pepper. Cook until potatoes are done, then
adjust seasoning to taste.
To serve, use a slotted spoon to put beans, potatoes, and ham into a serving
dish with a little broth.

i'd cook the green beans lightly as i like my veggies slightly
crunchier...... if you like them cooked to death, your choice

cook the bacon crispy, with some sliced garlic bits
oven roast some slivered almonds

garnish beans with bacon and almonds right before serving
