Ham, Potatoes, And Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups ham, diced
2 lbs white potatoes
1 -2 lb fresh green beans or 1 -2 lb frozen green beans
1 onion (optional)
water
black pepper

Preparation

Cube the potatoes, peeling first if desired.
String the beans and break into 2 inch pieces.
Coarsely chop the onion.
Place ham, potatoes, beans, black pepper, and onions into a wide, shallow pot or dutch oven.
Add enough water to come within a couple inches of the top of the food.
Bring the pot to a boil then simmer gently for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
This can be drippy so I suggest serving it in bowls or soup plates.
Cornbread makes a good accompaniment if you want to sop up the juices.
