BBQ Sauce will usually do it if you like those flavors.

I think ketchup makes cholent a dark color. (Though I personally prefer it a light color.)

Some dark brown sugar. Just 1 or 2 tablespoons. You can leave out the ketchup and bar-b-que sauce.

Maybe it has to do when you put it up & if you cook it in pot or crockpot/slow cooker.
In a pot it tends to be lighter. And the longer you cook it the darker it becomes.
I do mine in a slow cooker, put it up friday morning or sometimes thursday night & I get a dark cholent.
I put in chulent mix, a bit of onion, cheek meat, potato & salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder & garlic powder. never had it a light color.

definately has to do with how long it cooks. I used to put up my cholent on friday and it was always a light brown...now I started putting up thursday night (same cholent) and it comes out much darker.

I had the same issue, until someone advised me to saute the onion until brown. That did it!

Why would you want it dark??? To me, chulent looks so unappetizing anyway.

My dh puts in honey. It gives the cholent a really good taste, and a nice dark color.
