1 Spray Roaster insert liberally with cooking spray2 In the bottom of the pan, place a layer of ½ of the cubed potatoes and onions.3 Spread the beans and barley next. 4 Add the duck-sauce and then the meat. 5 Season the meat (once inside the pot) with the salt, pepper and beef soup mix6 Add the remaining potatoes and onions. 7 Fill to cover with water. 8 Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. 9 You want it to be just barely simmering as Shabbos comes in so that it doesn’t overcook.

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.
