Green Beans Potatoes

By carolync

Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh, frozen or canned green beans (If fresh, remove ends and break into pieces and wash the beans)
• 6 or 7 red potatoes, cut in pieces (I have made this using any kind of potatoes)
• 1 to 2 cups chicken broth or 1 (14.5 ounce) can (You don’t have to use the chicken broth. I just think it makes them better)

• 2 to 3 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
