What do you put in to give a good, spicy taste?

Following. I've decided recently that my cholent is a bit blah. Would love to hear ideas to spice it up and add more flavor. I was thinking maybe barbecue sauce? Anyone put this in theirs? Or honey?

My mother claims paprika is the key. DH prefers cumin. It's all a matter of preference.
I've heard of people adding molasses, BBQ sauce, honey, ketchup, soda, or even beer to add flavor. A friend once put cherry Coke in but it was far too sweet for my taste.
One family I know uses a can of baked beans instead of the usual chulent bean mix.
Some people like regular potatoes and some prefer sweet potatoes or a mix of both. Most people stick to the traditional barley, but others use wheatberries, quinoa, or even rice and lentils.
There's a "machlokes" as to what cut of meat comes out best and if you should brown it before putting it in. Some people like to sauté onions but I can't be bothered.
My family loves kishka but others swear by potato kugel or eggs as add-ins.
Your best bet is to experiment with various combinations until you find the one that works for your family.

I put a spicy sesame teriyaki, about a half a cup, and it comes out great!

Spicy paprika (Pereg makes a good one) and garlic. An onion. Maybe some chili powder. Keep it simple.

I second hot paprika.
Lots of garlic.
Lots of salt and black pepper. (But don't go overboard on the black pepper.)
I usually layer the cholent when I (rarely) make it - the onions are at the bottom with a thin layer of oil so they get sautéed without having to use another pot or too many extra steps. Then I stir everything together.
I use hot duck sauce sometimes, other times some honey.

BBQ sauce and honey give a heavy, almost burned flavor to cholent that cooks so many hours. But I know some people like it.
We like lots of onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and ketchup and brown sugar, and a marrow bone.

LOts of salt
Lots of onion powder
garlic powder
Lots of diced onions (at least 2)
paprika
montreal Steak seasoning
honey
ketchup
I find the trick is also the right amount of water and cooking temp.
I was using a different crock pot for a while and even with the same everything I couln't get the taste right.
