Last week was my first week making Gf cholent.
I used brown rice instead of barley and on friday right before shabbos it was good but shabbos morning the rice absorbed so much water that it turned to mush and the rest of the cholent was pasty.
Are there any tips/tricks?
TIA

You can skip the rice and just use beans & potatoes.

I skip the rice and use onion, potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnip and carrots - and beans!

I use Lundberg short grain brown rice. I find the texture and consistency verysimilar to regular cholent made with barley.

My friends who make GF cholent use round brown rice. It really absorbs a lot, so 1/4 cup is may be enough. Start with a very small amount and add more each week until you acheive the consistency you like.
Pay attention if it also absorbs all the salt.

I don’t always put barely in my cholent so I guess it’s gluten free. You can do beans, onions, all spices, meats....

I've used a mix of quinoa and white rice, it's not the same, but everyone ate! And I use double the amount of navy beans as compared to the "grains"

A smaller amount of short grain brown rice, or gluten free steel cut oats work very well.
Anonymous because I recently discussed this with others in real life and apparently not many people use steel cut oats.

I use the short grain brown rice as well and my guests can’t tell it’s not barley if I don’t tell them. Recently someone told me they use Arborio rice and it’s even better, but I haven’t tried it yet.

Tuberose, does using steel cut oats result in the same texture as barley?

I’ve been making gluten-free cholent for years. The secret to my recipe is substituting oat groats (not rolled oats) for the barley. Groats are basically the whole seed of the plant. Oat groats are similar in appearance to barley, just thinner. I prefer the groats to rice since they do not get mushy and have a similar texture to barley.
