Notes
- You can also theoretically put this cholent on a blech or in a crock pot overnight, although I’ve always used the oven method.
- I usually remove the casing from the kishke and place it in the pan – I find it gives the cholent a great flavor. You can leave the casing on if you like and slice it when serving the cholent.
- You can personalize this cholent by adding more meat, or other ingredients. If you’d like a thicker cholent add a little less water.
