To really amp up this dish, cube up a ham steak and add it to your cooker. A-maz-Ing flavor. Great pictures, thanks for reminding me of a favorite side dish.
Hi Linda!
That is a great idea! I will have to try it! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I remember when i was 13 or 14 my girl friends mother made this. I still remember how much i liked it. Glad i found the recipe. Im going to make it for my grandchildren
Hi Sandy!
That’s awesome! I love recipes that are nostalgic. I am sure your grandchildren will love it as well!

Could I use frozen, defrosted green beans instead of canned?
Hi Bree!
I haven’t tried it with thawed frozen green beans, but think it should work. You will have to add more liquid though. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
~Aunt Lou
this sounds good. do you think fresh green beans could be substituted?
Hi Susan!
I haven’t tried this with fresh green beans, but think it could work. You will need to add more liquid and the cooking time may have to be adjusted. You will want to watch it closely the first time you make it so you can know how the timing needs adjusted. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

Is is ok if I use a larger crock pot? I do not have the small one.
Hi Pat!
I haven’t made this in a larger crock pot, but think it could work. It will change the cooking time though. Or, if you have a glass bowl that will fit in your larger crock pot, you could try the double-broiler method we use in this recipe: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-steel-cut-oatmeal/. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

This is a great recipe. I didn’t have any garlic so I used the dried chopped garlic and I added the chopped onion. You have the best recipes. Everything I have made from your recipes has turned out delicious.
Hi Jo!
