    There are many ways to make cholent and we have many different versions on our site, the one that the video on youtube is referring to is here: Family Heirloom Cholent <https://jamiegeller.com/recipes/family-heirloom-chulent/>

    What a snarky, sneeringly imperious comment, McLevy. Stop brandishing your super critical knives. It’s only a recipe — not the cure for cancer.

    You don’t put onion soup mix and ketchup into the World’s Best ANYTHING.
    But it serves as a decent base concept to work off of. Thanks.

    No, it’s because of the chipotle in adobo(it’s a hot pepper sauce).
