Ring Bologna Recipes In Oven

EMERIL'S FAVORITE BROWN SUGAR-CRUSTED BAKED BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a large roasting pan with foil to cover well.
• Using a small sharp knife score the top of the bologna, cutting about 1/4-inch deep, to create a diamond design.
• Place the bologna, cut side down, in the foil lined pan and spread a thin layer of mustard on the exposed areas. Using your hands, press the brown sugar onto the Dijon mustard to create a coating. Carefully turn the bologna over, so that the cut side is facing up, and spread the top and sides with the remaining Dijon mustard. Press the remaining brown sugar onto the mustard to coat the entire bologna well.
• Place the bologna in the top third of the oven. Bake for 5 hours, rotating the bologna slightly during cooking to keep the bottom from burning.
• Remove the bologna from the pan and place it on a large platter. Slice the bologna 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and make sandwiches on fresh white bread with yellow mustard...just the way Emeril likes it!

FRIED RING BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Heat a large, preferably cast-iron, pan over medium heat. Remove the casings from the ring bologna and slice on the diagonal 1/2 inch thick. When the pan is hot, add a lump of butter and a spoonful of olive oil, and then add the bologna in one layer, leaving some space between the pieces. Fry until dark pink crusty edges form on both sides. Remove from the pan, keep warm and continue frying the rest of bologna.
• Serve with crackers.

JIM LAZOR'S FAVORITE PICKLED RING BOLOGNA

Steps:

• Skin the bologna if necessary and slice in 1/2 inch slices.
• Pack into a wide-mouthed glass jar, (I use a half gallon glass container) add the pepper flakes and COVER all with the vinegar. You might need more depending on how much you fix.
• Seal the jar and allow to sit on the counter overnight or for up to two days, then refrigerate.
• You can add as many pepper flakes as you like, the bologna will pickle and get hotter as it sits on the counter.
• Once refrigerated, the pickling process stops. I find that overnight and one tablespoon of flakes makes this just right!

RING BOLOGNA AND BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large casserole dish, mix baked beans, onion and bacon. Add ring bologna.
• Cover and bake in oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
• You could also make this in the microwave on high for 10-12 minutes.

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.
