My Famous Cholent for a Simcha
One 18 Quart roaster oven (crock-pot) full of this chulent can feed approx 50 people gathered for a lunch simcha! (65 people if they ate a lot at Kiddush) In parentheses I have included the amounts to use for a 6 quart pot) Helpful hint – extend the life of your roaster oven by setting up a Shabbos clock to shut off the oven after the chulent has been removed so its thermostat doesn’t get too much use when nothing is in the oven.

David’s chulent is, simply stated, a Kiddush Hashem ! It is truly a privilege to enjoy this “gastronomous” traditional dish .
Great chulent! And I thought 40 cloves of garlic was the secret ingredient (Wink!)

I tried to respond to Anj’s comment yesterday, but no response posted, so I’ll try again.
Anj, if you thought THIS cholent reciped was a “secret,” just try to get David to reveal his fabulous recipe for chocolate chip cookies! Yum!
Its truly the best. 5 stars all the way!!
Yum! How could Cholent with duck sauce NOT be good !!
FROM THE AUTHOR: Many people add honey to their chulent but honey burns at a fairly low temperature and I can’t stand that taste. For the added sweetness, I add duck-sauce which is basically an apricot product which wont burn as easily as honey.
Better than any cholent in town!! I always thought this was a “secret” recipe! So happy it is being shared with the world!!!
great
Only way to make it any better is to drop in a turducken!!
