My version of "Grandma's red potatoes, green beans and ham"

 My Grandmother on my dad's side of the family was a great cook!!! She was also good at stretching a dollar to feed her family!!  When I was a Sophomore in High school, we lived near her home.  I would stop in on the way home from school and she would be making dinner.  Grandpa worked a grave yard shift as a security guard and would eat about 4:30 and head into work. She taught me how to cook!! They always had a big garden in the back yard in the summer and I loved the fresh green beans from her garden.  She used to cook them with onion and bacon and a little bit of chicken broth to de-glaze the pan.  I loved it when she would make mashed potatoes and I would always combine a half bite of mashed potatoes with a half bite of beans.   So when I came across this recipe, I decided to honor my grandma's cooking and make it my own.
