Farmstand One Pot Wonder

One Pot Wonders are dishes that you kind of throw everything in the pot, let it cook, and then it is done! I’ve made the One Pot Wonder Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil from Barefeet in the Kitchen lots of times (it is awesome!), and we really like it. I thought I would share with you one of our family-favorite “one pot wonders” that is just perfect for this time of year!

Farmstand One Pot Wonder is green beans, new potatoes, onions, and ham that are all cooked in one pot. Half way through the cooking time you can place a few ears of corn on top of everything and they cook in the pot too. The ham makes everything taste awesome and the starchy potatoes kind of make their own sauce/gravy for everything as they cook. It’s so easy and you will love it! This is comfort food at it’s finest. And I’m proud to say that everything in the pictures, except for the ham, was grown by me (we are all out of pork from last year and this year’s hog is still growing). If you didn’t grow your own taters, beans, onions, and corn this year, I bet you can find some locally grown at a roadside farm stand or farmers’ market this week.

This my friends, is real food at it’s best. Simple seasonal ingredients cooked without a lot of fuss. I’m in! Are you?

This dish is very common in Indiana but no one here in Utah that I’ve met makes it. Do you make something similar? What are your favorite One Pot Wonders?!

If you try this recipe, let me know what you think! Leave a comment, pin it, and don’t forget to tag a picture #blessthismesseat on Instagram. I love to see your kitchen skills in action!
