Low Carb Sauteed Ham and Green Beans

This ham and green beans recipe can be made as a side dish or enjoyed as an entree. It’s really good!

This cooks up beautifully in a cast iron pan. You don’t have to use cast iron, but I swear everything tastes better in cast iron. A 12″ pan is a versatile pan and large enough for most everything you need. They are heavy though, so keep that in mind when buying one.

We only buy Lodge cast iron because it’s affordable and made in the USA.

I was really skeptical about cast iron at first. It seemed like a lot of work, but it’s really not and I love the way the food turns out in it. We have a set of different sizes and they nest nicely into each other and don’t take up a lot of room. And they will last forever with a few easy steps of cleanup after each meal.

Low Carb Sauteed Ham and Green Beans

This recipe is super easy. The hardest part is trimming the beans and chopping the ham. I bought a little cooked ham from the store and cut it into cubes.
