Cholent recipes

[Who]

Yes, I searched before starting a new thread and pretty much the only thing that came up was a lot of posts from cholentfresser! Not exactly what I was looking for..... Was just curious if anyone had some suggestions, my cholent could use some help, it taste ok but i don't like how it comes out, it comes out each thing by itself and doesn't come together like a cholent, each ingredient; beans, barley, meat, potatoes don't seem to mish together, am I doing something wrong?

I guess the word I'm looking for is consistency , my cholent tastes good but the consistency is off...

Meat, Potatoes (usually 4-5 diced), Barley (about 80% of a bag), i dont love beans......mix in salt and pepper- garlic powder, Fried Onions, a packet of Onion Soup mix, lots of paprika! Fill crockpot- to the top of the food (not top of the pot)...mix and enjoy!!

sear meat when frying the onions.   garlic cubes do good too

[ah]

ketchup and some honey

A dollop of BBQ sauce can make it interesting.

My cholent is good, and it comes out a little different each time. Guess I also need some consistency!

lol everyone has their own preferences and what they think makes chulent a hit. but with ketchup their are usually haters and lovers, no in between

I'd say don't ask someone for their cholent recipe until you've eaten there on shabbos day. You never know what some people like!

One trick I've learnt over time is dicing  a large onion and placing it at the bottom. Gives the chulent a great flavor and consistency. Also don't be shy with spices I've found it difficult to over spice a chulent (except with salt and pepper)

some people saute the onion a little before adding the rest of the ingredients

true, but I've never had a guest over who didn't go for seconds on my chulent.

I used to do that. IMO, it's a waste of time.
