  1. In a slow cooker, combine the green beans, ham hocks, stock and bell peppers. Cook on high, 3 to 4 hours.
  2. Once the beans are super tender and the ham hocks are falling apart, you are ready to go. Pull the ham hocks out and set aside to cool. Once you can handle them, shred every ounce of meat you can find, and then toss the meat with the beans and peppers. Season and serve!

Jeff, I live in Florida, where it very hot most of the year.  My family loves Southern Style Green Beans, this recipe for cooking them in the Crockpot, instead of on the stovetop has become my new go to for green beans.  Thank you for helping me keep a little heat out of "The Kitchen".
