Place the bite-sized pieces of ham, trimmed green beans, halved or quartered baby potatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot. The combination of these ingredients creates a hearty base for the dish, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor.
Step 2: Mix the Seasonings
In a small bowl, combine the dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture to combine, and then sprinkle it evenly over the ingredients in the crockpot. These herbs and spices will infuse the dish with rich, savory flavors as it cooks.
Step 3: Add the Broth
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over everything in the crockpot. The broth helps to keep the dish moist as it cooks, and adds a subtle depth of flavor to the potatoes, green beans, and ham.
Step 4: Cook the Dish
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your available time. The potatoes should be tender and the green beans cooked to your liking. The ham will also become tender and flavorful as it simmers in the broth with the vegetables and seasonings.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the dish is finished cooking, give it a good stir and serve hot. Enjoy the tender ham, flavorful green beans, and perfectly cooked potatoes. This meal is hearty enough to stand on its own or can be paired with a light salad or cornbread for an even more satisfying meal.
