In one skillet, I do the ham and bacon. In a medium pot, I boil the sliced potatoes with a chopped onion for 15 minutes. In a big pot, I boil the green beans and sweet onion chunks with butter and a good dose of black pepper for 15 minutes. Drain water from the beans and potatoes and combine in the big pot. Dump the ham cubes and bacon scraps on top and toss with salad tongs. Heat for another 5-10 minutes on low. Note: check the potatoes with a fork and stop the boil just as they get a little soft (not too done.) The potatoes will continue to cook when combined with the beans for five minutes so you don’t want them to turn to mush. It will serve many.
