Background:
Tshulent is a traditional Eastern European
Jewish dish often prepared as a Sabbath meal.
Historically, it was placed in the oven or kept
on low heat overnight.
Original recipes typically include "kishke" and
a higher ratio of beans and potatoes to meat.

Use "Reynolds" oven bag and stuff it with
the Old fashion chicken stuffing,
and add it to the Tshulent.
Poke holes in the bag before adding it
to the pot.
