Green Beans with Ham and New Potatoes






With the holidays right upon us I thought I would post this. I read this recipe in a Southern Living magazine years and years ago. This makes a wonderful pot of green beans. You can use potatoes or leave them out. It's up to you. We are making a big pot of these for Thanksgiving this year instead of the ole stand by Green Bean Casserole.
Enjoy!


1/2 Cup butter
2 1/2 Cups diced smoked ham
2 large sweet onions, diced
3 (1 pound) packages frozen cut green beans, thawed.
2 Cups chicken broth
1 pound baby new potatoes, halved
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1 small red bell pepper, diced

Melt butter in large pot over med-high heat. Add ham and saute 5 minutes. Add onions and saute 5 minutes. Add the next 4 ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir the bell pepper in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
