- 2 red bell peppers, sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, combine the green beans, ham hocks, stock and bell peppers. Cook on high, 3 to 4 hours.
- Once the beans are super tender and the ham hocks are falling apart, you are ready to go. Pull the ham hocks out and set aside to cool. Once you can handle them, shred every ounce of meat you can find, and then toss the meat with the beans and peppers. Season and serve!

Reviews
Jeff, I live in Florida, where it very hot most of the year. My family loves Southern Style Green Beans, this recipe for cooking them in the Crockpot, instead of on the stovetop has become my new go to for green beans. Thank you for helping me keep a little heat out of “The Kitchen”.
Super easy & YUMMY!
Excellent dish! So simple and tastes great! If your looking for a stress free side dish, this is it! It’s a keeper
Very easy to make with great results. I cooked the beans for 3 hrs. which seemed to be plenty. And I only used one red pepper which did break down quite a bit despite my slices being decent size. My ham hock was 2 lbs. but added great flavor. Besides S&P, I threw in a dash of tabasco sauce & a sprinkling of Italian seasoning for a little boost in flavor. And best part of all, it’s one of those recipes you can walk away from while you’re doing other things in the kitchen and not worry about the oven or stove top being available.
