I always put mine up Thursday night so for me early and late shabbos are no different.
How do you cook yours? When do you put it up?

I put it in the crockpot before shabbos and keep it on low but when shabbos starts at 4ish and we dont eat till 12-1 the cholent always tends to overcook or burn

Sounds like there is something wrong with your crockpot!

I put mine on high Friday morning and turn it to low before shabbos starts. It doesn't matter if it's a short or long Friday I usually put it up around the same time. Around noon sometimes earlier if I have my act together.

As per my experience, you gotta make sure there's enough oil and water. It always has a strong flavor cuz of cooking it long but never really burns.

This is the real solution to your problem:

You need to make sure that you Cholent is FULLY COOKED before shabbos starts, and then leave it on "Keep Warm" until ready to eat.

Note that "Keep Warm" is not the same as "Low." On "Low" the Cholent continues to slowly cook, while on "Keep Warm," the cholent is kept at a high enough temperature for food safety, but not high enough for further cooking. This is the real secret of all great cholents.

This probably depends on the crock pot, but I had one that the "keep warm" setting was definitely not hot enough to feel safe. OPs crock pot might work though, if the low setting is too hot. But first try adding water and see if that helps.
