I have been making this cholent for several years, and I have entered it into cholent competitions and won 2 years. Everyone I have made this for loves it, because it is a simple recipe with a lot of meat and flavor.
1/2 pound barley
1/2 pound cholent mix beans
2 large potatoes, diced
2 large white onions, diced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon butcher cracked (or ground) black pepper
1 pack beef flanken, approximately 1 and 1/4 pounds (cut into small pieces)
1 pack lamb breast, approximately 1 pound (cut meat off the bones and into small pieces), use meat and bones
1 piece beef kielbasa (cut into small pieces)
1 pack kishka (cut into half slices)
water
Use either a 6- or 7-quart crock pot. Put in barley, beans, potatoes, onions, salt and pepper.
Add 1 quart of water to mix the salt and pepper around.
Add in the flanken, lamb, kielbasa. Layer the kishka on top.
Add water to fill crock pot (approximately 1 and 1/2 – 2 quarts). Cover and turn on to cook.
