I made my regular cholent recipe and put in meatballs instead of meat. \it came out really good. You may need to bake or fry them a bit first so they don't fall apart.

I like to make ra_mom's brown rice stew with meatballs instead of meat. It comes out delicious!

sticky brown rice stew

-1 cup short grain brown rice (must be short grain, otherwise rice will "bust")
-1/2 onion, chopped
-2 garlic cloves, crushed
-2 tsp salt
-1 tsp teriyaki sauce
-1 piece meat
-4-1/4 cups water (use only 3 cups water if placing stew in a crockpot liner bag)

Place all ingredients in crockpot, with meat on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for a little less than 24 hours.

I make my regular meatball recipe:
1 lb. chopped meat
1/4 cup flavored bread crumbs
1 egg
1 tsp. onion powder

Thanks so much! I made something like this and it came out delish! I doubled the meatball recipe and used barley instead of rice at the last minute and it's almost all gone. My kids ate so much more than they normally do.

I tried meatball cholent because I couldn't get my kids to eat cholent. I got an idea from a sefardi friend who doesn't add any grains to the cholent, so it is a thin spiced broth. This works well, because I can take out potatoes, boiled eggs, chick peas, chicken and meatballs from the cholent and the kids can eat whatever they like, and I can re-use whatever is left in other dishes (I.e. mash the potatoes with oil motzoi shabbos, make fleishig egg salad sandwiches--not that any eggs are left...give them the meatballs separately.)

This was the perfect cholent solution for picky eaters! To think how many years I agonized over leftover cholent! I just stopped adding grains that would thicken it into a stew and served the parts separately!

oh, and to keep meatballs soft...add plenty of egg to the mixture and caffeine in the cholent...a tbsp of instant coffee, is a great meat tenderizer. I use it on pot roast.

1 1/2 times the recipe would probably be fine for you too.

You use both meatballs and meat? What kind of meat?

My stew is thick and sticky. We love it this way.
mha3484, I wonder if the thermostat on your slow cooker is set much lower than others.

I was just thinking that if you doubled the recipe your probably didn't need to totally double the water and salt as well.

I have the same crockpot. So it must be the double quantity.
