I have been wanting to try a meatball cholent for some time and so I finally did. The rice got a little over cooked and mushy, but everyone really liked that. I might still work on tweaking it, but it was really good and so I thought I would share it and keep it as a record for myself here.

Ok, that should work, please let us know how it comes out.
I think I’m going to try this for Shabbos P’ Ki Teitzei. However, instead of putting the rice in there, I will add a few white potatoes chunked, and then serve it over rice made separately.
It says to to add the sauce after the garlic in the pot. Every slow cooker is different and so water has to be adjusted to keep that in mind. If yours tends to be higher than it would need more water. Mine has a few settings and if I don’t set it properly the food tends to burn.
Doesnt say when to put in the teryaki sauce. Also, burnt to a crisp. Not enough water recommended?
I have a friend who makes a gluten free cholent with rice. To make the rice less mushy, he starts it later in the day within an hour or so of shabbos. Maybe that would help?
If you sub the brown rice with wheat berries, they remain chewy and still retain an interesting texture – plus it tastes good. I love it that Tamar contributes amazing healthy recipes, as that’s the biggest challenge with much of Shabbat food.
I am sorry it didn’t work out for you, it is a different kind of cholent, not for everyone, but thanks for letting us know.
I made this and while I thought it was edible my family hated it!!!! They probably would have preferred me adding more of the spices they are used to in addition to the ingredients listed above. I won’t be making this again.
Love this idea for a meatball cholent. I wonder if there’s another way to cook the rice so it doesn’t get mushy.
Adding the apple sounds interesting, and probably offsets the salt from the teriyaki, fascinating!
