Steps:
- In a large oven safe pot or roasting pan, saute onions in oil over medium heat.

- Mix in beans; stir continuously until the beans start to shrivel. Stir in the barley. Add potatoes, and add just enough boiling water to cover the meat and potatoes. Mix in dry soup mix and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer partially covered for 20 minutes on stove top.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Cover pot tightly, and place in preheated oven. Allow to cook overnight for at least 10 to 15 hours. Check periodically to make sure you have enough liquid to cover; add small amounts of water if needed. Do not stir; stirring will break up the chunks of potatoes.

CHOLENT
The overnight Jewish stew, cholent, is typically started on Friday afternoon and allowed to cook overnight to be eaten at noon on the Sabbath. It is a flavorful, comforting slurry of beef short ribs, beans, potatoes, onions, honey and smoked paprika. This version is made in a slow cooker so those observing Sabbath need not tend to it.

Steps:
- Line the bottom of a slow cooker with the potatoes, the onion and then the short ribs, sprinkling the meat with pepper to taste.
- Scatter the barley and the beans on top, then pour on the broth and the honey or molasses. Sprinkle with the paprika and salt to taste. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients. Cook on low for 12 to 15 hours, stirring occasionally (except during Shabbat, for those who observe it), adding more water if necessary. The longer the cholent cooks, the better it will be.

FUNKY CHOLENT
Cholent is a Saturday lunch standard in many Jewish homes. Every family has their signature cholent. This recipe took me twelve years to perfect, and includes secrets I learned from ten different families. Cholent is meant to be experimented with. Some interesting additions you may want to try are soy sauce, honey, Mrs. Dash®, paprika, or left-over beef gravy.

BEEF STEW/ CHOLENT FOR CROCK POT
I worked on my stew recipe for several years before I perfected it to what it is today! Every time I serve this for Shabbat lunch, it's completely devoured. It's ultra simple and always comes out great. If you're making this for shabbos, cook it fully Friday afternoon and keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting until serving. You can also make the recipe by substituting one can of chicken stock with a can of beer.
