Ham Potatoes And Green Beans

A farm-food classic, but low in fat and perfectly suited to today's lighter diets. Not a soup, not a stew, but a one-pot meal that stays good on those busy days when everyone has to eat on a different schedule.

---

Steps

---

Cube the potatoes , peeling first if desired.

---

String the beans and break into 2 inch pieces.

---

Coarsely chop the onion.

---

Place ham , potatoes , beans , black pepper , and onions into a wide , shallow pot or dutch oven.

---

Add enough water to come within a couple inches of the top of the food.

---

Bring the pot to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

---

This can be drippy so i suggest serving it in bowls or soup plates.

---

Cornbread makes a good accompaniment if you want to sop up the juices.
