Crock Pot Greek Style Beans and Tomatoes

Crock Pot Greek Style Beans and Tomatoes
We just ate at our favorite diner in CT, the Blue Colony. One of their specials was Greek Lamb with Roasted Potatoes and String Beans. Amazing!! I am going to use #87782 Evelyn's Roasted Potatoes along with this recipe to re-create that wonderful meal. This is a Cooks.Com recipe and tweaked a little. I am going to include the oregano, but can not use it due to a severe oregano allergy.
