For a richer flavor, consider browning the ham hock in the pot before adding the water. If you're using frozen green beans, there's no need to thaw them before adding them to the pot; simply increase the simmering time by about 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Some people prefer a touch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. This recipe can easily be adapted for a slow cooker. Simply combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
