CANNED GREEN BEANS & HAM

(These taste like fresh green beans that you have cooked all day.)  

               New recipe, not in the cookbook.  

                                 (steam clouding picture, but you get the idea)

YOU WILL NEED:

Saucepan
Spoon
Can opener
Measuring spoons


INGREDIENTS:

2 cans (14.5 oz.) French cut green beans
1/2 cup small onion, diced small
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 chicken cube
1/2 pkg. diced ham (fully cooked)



1.  Open green beans and pour them and the juice into saucepan.

2.  Add diced onion, chicken cube and seasonings.

3.  Cook on low, uncovered,  for 45 minutes.

4.  Add diced ham and cook another 15 minutes.


SERVES:  1 to 3

SERVING HINTS:  You can buy a small box of cornbread mix (you will need 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk) which goes really well with green beans and ham.  I use French cut green beans because they are thin and absorb the other flavors well, they also cook quicker.  Wrap the rest of the ham well then freeze it.  You can use it later for scrambled eggs, soups or an omelet.
