We love Allen's green beans (if you can find them), but any thicker canned or fresh green beans will work! I use a slotted spoon to drain off the liquid when serving, but some people like it served with the liquid it was cooked in, so try it out!EASY RECIPE TIP: Make your crockpot ham green beans and potatoes with those cubed pieces of ham you find in the sandwich meat section / refrigerated section. (When they're on sale, I grab them and freeze the ham for this green beans recipe and for slow cooker soups!)

Notes
*The amount of potatoes will depend on how big your crockpot is.This is a really easy recipe to play around with, including doubling the recipe for larger crowds. If you don't have bacon, you can also add cooked ham pieces or even a ham bone from a cooked ham.If you're using fresh green beans, use around 2 pounds with the ends trimmed and increase chicken broth to 3 cups.
