Place the smoked pork neck bones in the pot of a slow cooker.
Cover the neck bones with water.
Add the partially defrosted onions, black pepper, seasoned salt, dehydrated minced garlic, and optional oil.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more developed flavor.
Once the meat is cooked and tender, add the defrosted green beans to the pot.
When the green beans are nearly cooked to your desired texture, add the defrosted roasted potatoes.
Continue to cook just until the potatoes are warmed through. Serve immediately.
