Ok, some QUICK NOTES.
I am a goy, this means:
1.) I like the taste of cholent
2.) I am sure I have committed MANY SINS in the recipe, these are not intentional
3.) This is not "Bubbeh's Cholent", this is Satan's cholent, there are as many recipes for Cholent as there are Jewish Grandmothers.
I have seen cholent similar to a slow braised pot roast, but I have chosen to follow the description given to me by my hasidic friends.
