What do you do with all that leftover chulent? Do you eat it after shabbos or is it past its prime and just thrown away? Such a shame, though to throw it away… Has anyone warmed it up on a Sunday or Monday and eaten it? Did it taste as good as fresh? Any major problems to speak of, such as not feeling well after?
Sunday night cholent leftovers were a staple when i grew up not quite as good as fresh but still very tasty
We eat it for supper on Sunday. With colse slaw, cold cuts, potaot kugel.
I generally throw my cholent out. (This Shabbos there were no leftovers! It was a good cholent!) However, my mother warms up the cholent on the stove top on Sunday night and it tastes fine. She usually adds a bit of the chicken soup when warming it up and it gives it a delicious flavor. I can’t say it tastes as good as fresh (nothing tastes like Cholent ON Shabbos!) but it still tastes good.
I eat it on Sunday, and sometimes I don’t even bother to heat it up first. Tastes good to me either way.
We are the BP grandparents of an out of town 19 year old who goes to school here in BP. The highlights of Sun & Mon night supper & midnight snack is Bubeh’s Chulent
You can add some extra potatoes.
It won’t taste the same.
No one ever died from cholent leftovers (if anyone knows someone who knows someone who did, this is extremely uncommon).
Brace yourself though; some people will attack your culinary skills if you could even have leftover chulent. What perakim would you like me to say for you?
edible the whole week. if you do not eat leftovers, cut down on amount so as not to waste.
Cholent is very tasty warmed up. There is nothing wrong with it. I don’t understand why your question is specificly based on cholent rather than any other left over food.
Of course rewarmed Chulent is delicious.
Nothing like fresh Chulent but we always eat it on Sunday with some crispy sour pickles!
Sunday chulent is the best.
My family won’t eat left over choulent. I feel bad throwing it out so I give it to my cleaning lady for lunch on Mondays, she loves it!
smartcookie, exactly! You know the cholent is a little thicker when it is rewarmed. I am happy that my family isn’t picky. Sunday I am busy cleaning up from Shabbos. I am satisfied not to cook dinner.
I will frequently make enough so I can eat it all week long.
Q. What’s the difference between a bochur and a yingerman?
A. A bochur eats chulent Thursday, Friday, and Shabbos.
A yingerman eats it on Shabbos, Sunday, and Monday!
When I was a kid I hated leftover cholent. Now I happily serve it for supper on Monday nights and my husband loves it. I’m still not such a big fan. But I am a fan of getting a night off from making supper so it’s worth it. ; )
My mother-inlaw makes cholent pie,fry leftover cholent with onion place in frozen pie crust bake..
estherhamalka – The longer it cooks the better!
in which jewish home you don’t know of leftover chulent?? its like one of the simonim of being jewish….
Send in to a local yeshiva- natures food disposal
other guy:
I find that highly offensive.
Whats the difference bet between a Yeshiva Bochur and a Kollel Guy ? Yeshiva Bochur eats chulent Thursday night, Friday night, Shabbos day, and Sunday night. Kollel Guy eats chulent Shabbos day, Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, and Wednesday night 🙂
the best supper in my family we all fight for it sometimes there is not enough to serve to everyone,the thicker the better, but nothing beets fresh for shabbos.
Sunday night we definitely eat it, & even Monday night. especially if it was cooked on Friday.
Sometimes I like to add chili powder to it. It’s easy to make it “Mexican”.

beets in cholent??
Imaofthree; “I don’t throw it out. I give it to my cleaning lady for lunch. She loves it”. That’s what she tells YOU. I read somewhere that the fine, Yidd’n-loving (Polish) cleaning ladies write home how the Jews mistreat them that they give them all the leftovers for lunch. Speaking of (Polish) cleaning ladies. (Why are they called that?! Because they clean you out.) I think they have a special “Mitzvah”. To break things in the houses of the Jews, and other little sabotage. Lest you think I’m paranoid. I’m not the only one. I had the occasion of being in someone’s house who told me the same thing.
I like the cholent left over better than the fresh cholent.
Any sort of stew tastes better the longer it sits because the flavors get to marry and mingle more thoroughly over time.
I happen to like leftover chulent. Who wants to cook again Sunday when you don’t have to? I do usually eat it for melaveh malkah, though, when it is parve chulent (parve chulent with a dairy lukshen kugel and parve kishka is a very tasty combination). When we have fleshig chulent, we usually have the leftovers on Sunday and usually have to thin it out with a little beef broth or homemade chicken broth from Friday night soup.
Leftover cholent is great for Sunday night. Just moisten it a little.
Today is Thursday and I just finished off last weeks chulent. I realize that tonight, many guys will be eating fresh chulent made for this week — I used to.

my mother dilutes the chulent until it’s soup and adds mushrooms- and poof a mushroom barely soup! As kids it took us a long time to realize . . . .
SUNDAY MAYBE!! NOT MONDAY!!
This past week I added some more legumes, chile powder, and cumin and we tacos. The next night, with one bowl of chile left, we made chile dogs.
Wow – So leftover chulent is a topic in itself?! I had no clue!
Thanks Meno 🙂
I imagine it being the consistency of leftover chili, which I thought was actually super yummy growing up. Often I’d snack on it cold.
Someone on another forum mentioned eating it with chips. That sounds good too. Or making a wrap, like a burrito (adding lettuce and etc toppings that one likes). Oh, plus someone mentioned making a pie out of it, so smart!
Of course… I’ve never had it, so I’m consuming leftover chulent recipes in theory.
