Background:
Tshulent is a traditional Eastern European
Jewish food. In the "old times" the dish was
prepared as a "Sabbath dish", and was placed
in the oven or on a low heat for over night.
Original recipes call for "“kishke ” and
higher ratio of beans and potatoes to meats.


Take note:
The Tshulent is often in the making for
a whole day:
9am-11am - cook the meat, then it cools
    down till 2pm.
2pm-3pm - cook the sliced meat, chicken
    and beans, then it cools down till 5pm.
5pm-6pm - add the potatoes.


Alternatives:

the Old fashion chicken stuffing, and added
to the Tshulent.
Poke holes in the bag before adding it to
the Tshulent.
