Reply To: What's the secret to a good cholent?

Mod 18, you can’t agree with popa and then add onion soup mix. That’s as silly as adding a can of chicken soup to your chicken soup. Don’t over season the cholent because it will overpower the actual taste of the dish. However, I do a cholent similar to Popa but have little or no beans. You can try premium chuck instead of flankin; after hours of simmering it’s as good as or better than flankin. Also bury some turkey pupik and cheek meat in the mixture, and lay a chicken feesil and turkey neck across the top. Try it and you will repeat. Ketchup; tomato sauce; feh!
