Ingredients

  • pounds fresh green beans
  • pounds small potatoes halved
  • ½ cup yellow onion chopped
  • ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick)
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes in half and add them to a large slow cooker. Sprinkle with the black pepper and 1 teaspoon of the Creole seasoning. Place the stick of butter on top.
  • Add the green beans and chopped onion on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of Creole seasoning.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2½ to 3 hours, stirring gently once each hour, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are cooked through.
  • Serve. Serve immediately or set the slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.

Notes

To cook on low: Cook for 4 to 5 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender. Cooking times vary by slow cooker so check for doneness before serving.
