Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups brown rice
2 beets, peeled and quartered
6 eggs in their shells
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
water to cover

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Layer half the potatoes on the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the cooked onions and rice; top with the remaining potatoes and beets.
Nestle the eggs into the mixture: they should be almost completely submerged when you add the water.
Mix the garlic powder and seasoned salt into 1 cup of water. Pour over the cholent. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Add water to cover. Too much water will make your cholent mushy; not enough may cause it to burn.
Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker on low; cook overnight.
