Southern Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes

These Southern Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes are seasoned with bacon for a delicious flavor. They are a perfect side to any meal and easy to make.

In the South, we love to season our veggies with BACON! It gives them such a delicious flavor. One of my favorite Southern sides is green beans with tender soft petite potatoes or new potatoes. I often make them with dinner, but I also make them at our cookouts when we are serving our pulled pork. There is nothing better than having Southern country sides with pulled pork. I have been asked for this recipe many times, and now I am FINALLY getting it up on the blog!

How to make Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes

Making crockpot green beans and potatoes is very easy:

• Cook 4 slices of bacon.
• Reserve the cooked bacon and cook 1 onion in the bacon grease.
• Add 3 tbs of butter. Top with 2 drained cans of flat Italian Green Beans in a crockpot. ( You can use other green beans, but I find these cook the best. If you can get them fresh in the summer time, add them in fresh!)
• Add 24 oz of little petite potatoes  or new potatoes. Either way, use the really small cute potatoes. I leave the skin, but you can peel them if you want.
• Add the cooked onion.
• Cut up 2 slices of raw bacon and mix in for extra flavor.
•  Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until potatoes are soft and tender.
• Once cooked, crumble the cooked bacon and mix it in with the green beans.
