I only had a pound of green beans, but even considering that; the cooking time listed in the recipe is entirely too long. The beans started turning army green which is not how we like our green beans. I cooked the beans and the rest about a half hour which was just slightly too long. I did add chopped red potatoes and garlic as one reviewer suggested which were yummy. Will make again, but just shorten the final cooking time quite a bit.

Cut this down using 1 lb of green beans and half of a ham shank. Added 2 cloves of sliced garlic to 1/2 an onion sauted in hot chili oil. Also added 1 lb of red potatoes about 20 min before done. In addition to adding salt, I added a bit of Emeril's Essence. This dish was warm and comforting. Best tasting green beans I have ever had. Only thing I'll do next time is cut down the cooking time. This small amount did not need the full 2 hours. Served with rotisseried chicken.
