Baked Bologna Recipes

REAL HOMEMADE BOLOGNA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, curing salt, water, garlic powder, onion powder and liquid smoke using your hands. Divide in half, and form each half into a roll. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Unwrap the beef rolls, and place them on a greased baking sheet or roasting pan.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, turning the meat over after 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Slice, and eat on sandwiches.

OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE BOLOGNA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer, combine all of the ingredients until smooth. Transfer the bowl to the freezer for 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Remove the bowl of meat from the freezer and divide the mixture in half. Using damp hands, form each half into a log. Compress it tightly as you work. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and use twist-ties to secure the ends tightly. Refrigerate flat for 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300° F / 150° C / gas mark 2.
• Remove plastic wrap from meat and carefully transfer both logs to a baking rack propped over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Reduce heat to 250° F / 125° C / gas mark 1 and cook an additional 2 to 2½ hours to an internal temperature of 160° F. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate up to 3 days. May be frozen for longer storage.

BAKED BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• For the tomato sauce:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add oil to large skillet over high heat. Add ground beef and saute, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Add garlic, oregano and chili flakes and cook a couple minutes. Add tomatoes and season, to taste, with sugar, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• For the bechamel:
• In a large saucepan melt butter over medium-high heat until bubbling. Add onions and saute until translucent. Sprinkle with flour, stirring constantly and cook until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually whisk in the wine, if using, and then gradually whisk in the milk and nutmeg and cook until smooth, thick and creamy. Combine the meat sauce and pasta, and then pour in half the pasta mixture. Spoon half the bechamel over the pasta and top with half the cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake 30 to 45 minutes until browned and bubbly.

EGGS IN BOLOGNA CUPS

Steps:

• Fry the bologna in a skillet until the center puffs up, about 1 minute (Mom always called them bologna hats or sombreros).
• The microwave works also, but keep an eye on them so you don't end up with bologna jerky.
• Insert the bologna cups into the cups of a lightly greased muffin tin.
• Break one (1) egg into each bologna cup and top each egg with 1 teaspoon of milk.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Bake at 375°F about 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.

SMOKED BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. I like a good hickory or apple wood for smoke.
• Using the tip of a sharp knife, score the bologna about 1/8th of an inch thick in a diamond pattern on all sides of the bologna.
• Slather the bologna chub with the yellow mustard and then sprinkle all around with the sweet rub, opening the slits slightly with your fingers to get that seasoning into the cuts you just made.
• Smoke with the lid closed for at least 3 hours, but up to 4 hours. Bologna is pre-cooked, so you're just going to the amount of color and smoke flavor on the outside of your bologna that you like.
• During the last 30 minutes, brush on all sides with the BBQ sauce.
• Slice warm into small cubes and serve as an appetizer or chill completely and slice as thin or thick as you like for smoked bologna sandwiches.

BAKED BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the bologna several times. Season the bologna with salt and pepper. Place the bologna on a roasting pan. Bake the bologna for 6 to 7 hours, or until the outside of the bologna is completely charred. Remove the bologna from the pan and place on a large platter. Serve the bologna hot with rolls and whole-grain mustard. This recipe yields about 24 servings.
