Smothered Green Beans with Ham and Potatoes

I have always loved this dish and finally decided to make it. For full nutrition information, I entered it at Spark People. Second picture in pot is before cooking down.

1 tbp EVOO
Approx 50 fresh green beans, cleaned (I'll use more next time)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
8 oz mini cubed ham (you can use bacon or sausage too)
2 white potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tsp salt (use less if using bacon or sausage)
.5 tsp black pepper
2 cups water

Heat up EVOO in a pot and add garlic, onion, and ham. Let sautee until onion is translucent.
Add potatoes, green beans, salt, and pepper.
Pour in 2 cups of water. Stir, turn heat to low. Cover pot and let cook at least 45 minutes stirring every so often.

You could cook all day in crock pot on a low setting.
