I used Montreal steak seasoning as the only spice besides salt. IMHO it comes out great
Good one. The main thing is to let the meat and potatoes give the taste.
There are guys putting in as far as wine or celery in there, very nice but not Cholent imo.

IINM the meat either has to be rueh l'achila or not cooked at all when Shabbos comes in
assuming the issue is sheiha. The bier halcha says in the begging or רנג that food which is designated for shabbos lunch is not a problem. Although I think he adds at the end that you shouldn't really on this often.

Simplicity is beautiful:
"Cholent" meat
Baked beans
Unpeeled potatoes
Barley
(Onion if we have)
Medium-lenght squirts of ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce
Nice amount of salt, pepper, onion power, garlic powder and paprika

yeah I do, but it has no effect on the chulent so not sure why your posting that in a chulent thread. But the eggs get some of the chulent flavor and are great.

BIG shaila in halacha if the meat is not rueh l'achila by the zeman. Ask your LOR if this is ok.

Either fully cooked, or raw. If it's partially cooked you can throw in one raw thing right before Shabbos.

In this case the whole thing is raw.

We use the actual Crock-Pot brand on the low setting.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

not if you consider it to be garuf vkatum. Also, if you put it in frozen raw right before shabbos it can pretty safely be chai legamry

All depends on the pot. Currently, in order for it to come out good we have to put it High from Thur night to Fri morning, low all day Friday and KW for shabbos.
A real mesiras nefesh....
that is certainly mitztamek vera lo

I love my cholent with or without. It's gotten so much better since I'm married (and better with each passing week). And it's different each time depending on the ingredients I have, such as onions that week. :)

The best and most efficient way to make cholent on yom tov?

(I usually use a crock pot on high to cook and then low overnight).

You can say what you think when you think what you say.
