ds keeps saying my cholent isnt spicy.

I should maybe put in ketchup.

I like to use clean ingredients.

I put in salt red paprika powder and pepper,

what spice can I add - (not like pepper which makes it sharp) but a good spicy taste,

it needs I think strong flavour.

Ketchup doesn't make it spicy. Do you mean savory?

I put in salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and cumin.

I put, a few fresh garlic cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, Paprika, chili powder & montreal steak seasoning, honey & salt to taste. I never use ketchup. I think it is gross.

I sautee an onion, then layer the rest potatoes, then add the meat & bone, pre-soakedbeans, barley, garlic cloves and then I add the spices on top. water to cover, bring to boil and lower to simmer.

If you want it spicy you can add cayenne pepper. That gives it heat.

Personally I just add garlic powder, salt and pepper and find it quite flavorful along with onions and meat. Maybe you just need more salt.

You need more salt than what you've been putting in until now.

I really like smoked paprika. And more black pepper than you think.

I do salt & pepper, garlic and onion powder, a little cumin, paprika, and thyme. Sometimes also chicken soup mix (but then less salt!!).
