Craving a hearty and comforting side dish without the fuss? Look no further than this simple slow cooker green beans and potatoes recipe! It's the perfect set-it-and-forget-it meal addition, especially on busy weeknights.
Simply toss your favorite green beans (fresh or frozen both work great!), cubed potatoes (Yukon Golds or Russets are delicious), some diced onion, garlic, and your preferred seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of smoked paprika are my go-to) into your slow cooker. Add a cup of vegetable broth or chicken broth for extra flavor.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender. Give it a good stir before serving. The slow cooker transforms simple ingredients into a flavor-packed dish. For an even richer flavor, consider adding a ham hock or bacon to the slow cooker! Enjoy this comforting and easy side dish with your favorite main course.
