Slow Cooker Green Beans

One of the best things about summer, is all the delicious veggies. Last night for dinner we had a meatless meal, complete with some veggies from the garden.

Early in the day, I bought some green beans at our local vegetable market (we don’t have any in our garden), I cleaned them, put them in the crockpot and added about 1/2 a small onion and about 3 strips of uncooked bacon cut in half. And enough water to cover. I cooked them on high for about 4 hrs., turning them down to low for about 1 more hr. I think they could have cooked a little longer. I added salt to taste also.

We also had Corn on the Cob, Fried Zucchini (from the garden), Cucumber Salad and Pasta Salad.

For the Corn on the Cob, I followed this recipe that came from MomAdvice. It’s the best!

For the Fried Zucchini, I peeled and sliced the zucchini, dip them in beaten eggs and then in crushed saltine crackers, then fry them in oil.

For the Cucumber Salad, I follow this recipe.

And, since I had a reader request for the Pasta Salad. I thought I would share the way I make it. I don’t really use a recipe, it’s pretty simple.

Boil the Tri-Color Pasta. Add some tomato and cucumbers that are chopped. And some Italian Dressing.  I usually add about 3/4 of the bottle of dressing and chill the salad for a few hrs. stirring a few times. Then I add the rest of the bottle if needed.
