If you are looking for a different kind of cholent this one is for you. You can make it vegetarian as I did using veggie chicken apple sausage, but you can still keep it pretty healthy by using real chicken apple sausage. I do suggest frying the onions and sausage and even the vegetables before cooking for added flavor.

What a awesome tasty and flavorful recipe. Very filling for me, great for a nice dinner. And I love the chicken apple sausage.
Hi Debbie, my mother in law makes a stew with lima beans and meat. It’s a pretty simple recipe. Soak the beans overnight, rinse and drain. Add to the crockpot with stew meat, a can or two of tomato sauce, some stock, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Probably, just make sure it has a nice mixture of beans and not just lentils or peas.
I found a Basic Bean Soup mix recipe that includes the proportions for the spice mix too. I will not include the ham hock.
I cannot find the 4 Bean mix. Can I substitute another Man. flavor?
My mother used to make a cholent with lima beans, and flanken in a tomato based sauce. i have been searching for the recipe for years. Does anyone out there have it?
Yes, it is 1 quart and the seasoning packet came in the bean soup mix.
Is a carton of Manischwitz broth 1 quart? Also the recipe mentions a seasoning packet. Where did that come from?
I used Tofurky!!
I used a Vegetarian Chicken Apple Sausage by Tofurky. If you want to try real chicken apple sausage I don’t think Jack’s sells it anymore, some local butchers might make their own or you can try ordering from this place in LA http://www.jeffsgourmet.com
Can you share the brand of the sausage so I know what to look for? (We’re outside of NY)
Can you please tell me who makes the vegetarian chicken apple sausage? Sounds delicious… Looking forward to making it.
