Crockpot Green Beans and Potatoes image

I had a bunch of Fresh Green Beans that I needed to use up from another recipe I made recently. I was longing for some Green beans like Mom used to cook. So I came up with this Crockpot recipe. I usually cook a small amount on the Stove top using the same ingredients. You can use canned Green beans if you choose. Or use frozen beans.
