Barbecued Bologna Sandwich Recipes

BARBECUED BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Prepare your cooker to cook indirectly at 235 degrees F using medium cherry wood for smoke flavor.
• Slice off a thin piece off the bologna lengthwise so it has a flat bottom and won't roll around. Score the top in a series of thin slashes in a diamond pattern. Season the bologna liberally with the barbecue rub. Put the bologna in the cooker and cook for at least 3 hours but up to 5 hours. It's already fully cooked, so the recipe is very flexible, but as it cooks longer it will get smokier and develop a better outside crust.
• Transfer the bologna to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice to serve.
• This rub is a little more complex than Barbecue Rub #67 and has great color as it cooks on the food. I like to put this one in the food processor until it's finely ground. It makes for a smooth texture but also takes care of breaking up the lumps in the dried brown sugar. You may want to dry the sugar the day before. This preparation is a little more complicated, but don't be afraid to use on whatever you're cooking.
• Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process for 15 seconds. The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months.

BBQ BOLOGNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker.
• Using a large, 2-pronged fork, poke several holes into bologna. Place bologna in the smoker and smoke for 3 hours over indirect heat, or until ends of bologna start to swell.
• Pour oil into a heavy bottomed medium-size frying pan. Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Cut bologna into 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick slices. When oil is hot, fry bologna slices, 1 at a time, for 1 minute each. Remove each slice to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place each slice of bologna between 2 pieces of Texas toast, first topping with a small scoop of cole slaw and then drizzling with BBQ sauce.

GRILLED BOLOGNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the bologna into 1/8-inch strips.
• Oil a flat top grill and cook the bologna on it until it crisps nicely.
• Saute the onions on the flat top until caramelized.
• Once caramelized, put the onions on top of the bologna. Add a slice of Swiss cheese.
• Toast the onion roll. Spread with the mustard, add the bologna, onions and cheese, the pickles and a '"smosh" of potato chips.
